[Verse 1]
Clambering men in big bad boots
Dug up my den, dug up my roots
Treated us like plasticine town
They built us up and knocked us down
[Pre-Chorus]
From Meccano to Legoland
Here they come with a brick in their hand
Men with heads filled up with sand
It's build...
[Chorus]
It's build, a house where we can stay (Ba-ba-ba-ba-build)
Add a new bit every day, eh, eh, eh (Ba-ba-ba-ba-build)
It's build, a road for us to cross (Ba-ba-ba-ba-build)
Build us lots and lots and lots and lots and lots (Ba-ba-ba-ba)
[Verse 2]
Whistling men in yellow vans
They came and drew us diagrams
Showed us how it all worked out
And wrote it down in case of doubt
[Pre-Chorus]
Slow, slow and quick, quick, quick
It's wall-to-wall and brick-to-brick
They work so fast, it makes you sick
It's build...
[Chorus]
It's build, a house where we can stay (Ba-ba-ba-ba-build)
Add a new bit every day, eh, eh, eh (Ba-ba-ba-ba-build)
It's build, a road for us to cross (Ba-ba-ba-ba-build)
Build us lots and lots and lots and lots and lots (Ba-ba-ba-ba)
[Bridge]
Oh, it's build...
It's build...
It's build...
[Pre-Chorus]
Down with sticks and up with bricks
In with boots and up with roots
It's in with suits and new recruits
It's build...
[Chorus]
It's build, a house where we can stay (Ba-ba-ba-ba-build)
Add a new bit every day, eh, eh, eh (Ba-ba-ba-ba-build)
It's build, a road for us to cross (Ba-ba-ba-ba-build)
Build us lots and lots and lots and lots and lots (Ba-ba-ba-ba)
It's build, a house where we can stay (Ba-ba-ba-ba-build)
Add a new bit every day, eh, eh, eh (Ba-ba-ba-ba-build)
It's build, a road for us to cross (Ba-ba-ba-ba-build)
Build us lots and lots and lots and lots and lots (Ba-ba-ba-ba)
