C G7 C G7 C G7 C
Many builders there have been since the world began
Em B7 Em B7 Em B7 Em
Palace cottage, mansion, inn, they have built for man
Dm C G7 A7
Some were small and some were tall, log or wide or low
Dm C G7 C
But the best one of them all Jack built long ago
Dm C D7 G7
'Twas built in by-gone days, yet millions sing its praise
C G7 C (refrein)
Just a Love Nest, cozy and warm
F C7 F
Like a dove nest down on a farm
G7 C A7
A veranda with some sort of clinging vine
Dm A7 Dm F G7
and a kitchen where some rambling roses twine
C G7 C
Then a small room, tea set of blue
F C7 F
Best of all room, dream room for two
G7 E7 A7
Better than a palace with a gilded dome
Dm G7 C
is a Love Nest - you can call home
C G7 C G7 C G7 C
Building houses still goes on - now as well as then
Em B7 Em B7 Em B7 Em
Ancient Jack and Jill are gone, yet return again
Dm C G7 A7
Ever Comes the question old shall we build for pride,
Dm C G7 C
Or should brick and mortar hold warmth and love inside?
Dm C D7 G7
The answer you may know, Jack solved it long ago
