Makin' It

I'm a nut, baby.
You're loose a screw.
Before you bolt,
I've got a project made for two.

We'll be makin it, baby.
As best we can.
We'll be makin' it, baby.
Makin' it ourselves.
Makin' it by hand.

I've got a ball-peen hammer.
Baby, I've got wood.
You let the glue flow,
we'll stick stuff together,
nail it good.

We'll be makin it, baby.
As best we can.
We'll be makin' it, baby.
Makin' it ourselves.
Makin' it by hand.
I'm a mighty, musky man but I've
come apart at the seams.
Preacher says, "talk to the carpenter"
but I'm hammered butt joint to beam.

Things fall apart,
rust and come undone.
Carpentry and plumbing
serve both uncouth and bon ton.

I choose uncouth.
I'm a nut, baby.
You're loose a screw.
Before you bolt,
I've got a project made for two.

We'll be makin it, baby.
As best we can.
We'll be makin' it, baby.
Makin' it ourselves.
Makin' it by hand.

Makin' it, baby.
