LYRICS
You’ve been a fool and so have I,
But let’s be man and wife.
And let us try, before we die,
To make some sense of life.

We’re neither pure, nor wise, nor good,
We’ll do the best we know.
We’ll build our house and chop our wood,
And make our garden grow.

I thought the world was sugar cake
For so our master said.
But, now I’ll teach my hands to bake
Our loaf of daily bread.

Let dreamers dream what worlds they please
Those Edens can’t be found.
The sweetest flowers, the fairest trees
Are grown in solid ground.

We’re neither pure, nor wise, nor good,
We’ll do the best we know.
We’ll build our house and chop our wood,
And make our garden grow!
