Ode to the little brown shack out back

May I have your attention outhouse lovers of America I have bad news
They passed an ordinance in the town and said we'd have to tear it down
(Oh man why)
This little ole brown shack out back (oh no man)
It's so dear to me (they can't do that)
Yes the health department said it's day is over and dead
(What do they know they don't know at all)
But it will live forever in my mem'ry (oh yes)
Are we gonna let 'em tear it down (noooooooo never)
We're gonna march down there nnd we're gonna protect our squatters rights
Now let's sing the victory song one two three

Don't let 'em tear that dear ole building down
Don't let them tear that little brown building' down
(Don't let them tear that little brown building down)
For there's not another like it in the country or the town
(Kind of hard to think)

It was not so long ago that I went trippin' through the shnow
Out to that house behind my ole hound dog
Where I'd sit me down to rest like a snowbird on his nest
And read the Sears and Roebuck catalogue

I would hum a happy tune peepin' through the quarter moon
As my daddy's kin had done before
It was in that quiet spot daily cares could be forgot
And it gave the same relief to rich or poor

Don't let 'em tear that little brown building down
Don't let 'em tear that dear ole building down
(Don't let them tear that little brown building down)
Sock it to 'em Mrs Miller
For there's not another like it in the country or the town
(That's tellin' them that'll be alright)

It was not a castle fair but I could dream my future there
And build my castles to the yellow jackets drone
I could orbit round the sun fight with General Washington
Or be a king upon the golden throne

It wasn't fancy built at all we had newspapers on the wall
And it was air-conditioned in the winter time
It was just an humble hut but it's door was never shut
And a man could get inside without a dime

Don't let 'em tear that little brown building down
Dont let them tear that little brown building down
(Don't let them tear that little brown building down)
For there's not another like it in the country or the town
