Johnny Built a House

Johnny built a house that was just so high,
Johnny built a house with a window and a door,
Johnny built a house that was pretty as a pie,
But it didn't have walls and it didn't have a floor.
"Hy," said Johnny, "What care I!
I can see the willow tree and I can see the sky.
The sky is blue and the wind blows through,
And the grass grows green where the floor might have been."

Johnny built a house that was just so high,
Johnny built a house with a gate and a yard,
The yard was immense 'cause it didn't have a fence,
And he didn't build a fence cause he was just too tired.
"Hy," said Johnny, "What care I!
The wild flowers grow just as blue as the sky,
The red bird sits on my little corn bin,
And I'll move over when the bears move in."
