OPH Rhapsody

Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Building our first house,
A sharp look at reality
Open your eyes,
Look up to the skies and see,
Scaffolding, cranes and towers of concrete blocks,
Because they're needed to erect the frame,
Bricks up high, footings low,
Any way the wind blows doesn't matter as long as there's

no rain

Mama,
The roof is on,
Put the fascias on the eaves, added soffits
with some ease
Mama, work has just begun,
On cladding with some mortar and the bricks
Mamaaaaa oooh,
Don't know how long it takes,

We're hoping we can start the screed tomorrow,
Carry on, carry on, before it freezes over

It's late, winter time has come,
Wind whistling through my spine,

body's aching all the time
Goodbye, ev'rybody, I've got to go,
Ignore my social life while I work all day and night
Mamaaaaa oooh,
Time to fit the doors,
And the windows too to make us watertight

I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Electrician! Electrician! Will you do the first fix please?
Plumbing, flooring, plaster, all add to exciting
me!

Kitchen choosing, then the bathrooms
Lay the heating, add the floorboards
Build the wardrobes, paint the walls - magnifico

We've never been so poor, our bank thinks it's a crime
We're mortgaged to the hilt, our assets on the line
Bur in the end we will have a house so fine!
Hard work yes, easy no, now please with me go
To take a look! Yes, we will with you go
(With you go!) Come with me! We will, yes, with you go
(With you go!) Come with me! We will, yes, with you go
(With you go!)) We will, yes, with you go
(With you go!)(Now we) Now we with you go
(With you go!) Now we with you go

(With you go!) Ahhh
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go
Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia, we will go
Because it's done, the house is done, it's time for us to see, to see,
to seeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

So you think I have chosen a fab, funky kitchen?

So you think we will love all the colours and lights?

Oh, baby, ain't this shower the business?
Windows are high class, door to the garage is just fine!

Nothing really matters,

Except that we love it,
Nothing really matters,
Except that we will love living here.
