The House We Live In

[EDIE]
Da-da-da-da-da-da-dum
Da-da-da-da-da-da-dum
Dum-da-da-dum, dum-da-da-dum
Dum-dum-dum-dum-dum

(spoken)
You think my costume will stay up?
I feel something slipping
I feel something

(singing)
It’s a big house, the house we live in

(spoken)
Big hit, this

(singing)
It’s a big job guarding freedom’s doors

(spoken)
World War II

(singing)
It’s a big foe across the ocean

(spoken)
That means Hitler

(singing)
But a big gal lights our golden shores

(spoken)
And wheeee!

(singing)
With a big heart out on the home front

(spoken)
Just exhausting!

(singing)
Every little guy pitch in

(spoken)
Here comes the good part!

(singing)
March! March!
March to buy your war bond
So the house we live in can win

Da-da-da-da-da-da-dum
Da-da-da-da-da-da-dum

(spoken)
Ten-hut!
Company! Fall in!

[ENSEMBLE]
It’s a big house, the house we livе in

[EDIE, spoken]
My God!

[ENSEMBLE]
It’s a big job guarding freedom’s doors

[EDIE, spoken]
Windows and doors!

[ENSEMBLE]
It’s a big foe across the ocean

[EDIE, spoken]
Anchors awеigh!

[ENSEMBLE]
But a big gal lights our golden shores

[EDIE, spoken]
Big as Staten Island!

[ENSEMBLE]
Til’ the big day we storm the beachfront

[EDIE, spoken]
That means D Day!

[ENSEMBLE]
And we liberate Berlin

[EDIE, spoken]
You weren’t even born yet!

[EDIE & ENSEMBLE]
March! March!
March to buy your war bond
So the house we live in will win

[ENSEMBLE]
Be alert

[EDIE, spoken]
Tip and glide!

[ENSEMBLE]
Stand your ground

[EDIE, spoken]
Stand aside!

[ENSEMBLE]
Check the sky if the siren should sound

[EDIE, spoken]
My pulse is pounding!

[ENSEMBLE]
Pull your weight

[EDIE, spoken]
Work those thighs!

[ENSEMBLE]
Do your share

[EDIE, spoken]
Slenderize!

[ENSEMBLE]
Keep recruits on their chutes in the air

[EDIE, spoken]
My God, where did all my hair go?!

[ENSEMBLE]
Over land, over sea
Fight to keep the free world free

[EDIE, spoken]
I need an agent!

[ENSEMBLE]
As we march! March!
Marching for each other
Every man, Jack, junior, miss and mother
Cuz we all are one another’s brother
One big fam’ly under the skin

[EDIE & ENSEMBLE]
And the house we live in will win!
