This Old House  written by Tom Schuyler & Craig Bickhardt, performed by SBK (Thom Schuyler, J. Fred Knobloch
 and Craig Bickhardt) 

There are fifty liquor boxes in my halls
And a hundred empty nails upon my walls
There's a sign out in my yard that reads for sale
And if this old house could cry the tears would fall

There are bargain-hungry vultures everywhere
Buying broken toys old clothes and tupperware
The phone's been taken out they've stopped the mail
And if this old house could talk I'd say a prayer

I've been strong and I've been sturdy
And I've weathered every storm
I've always kept your family safe and warm
Now you're packing up the laughter
And you're sweeping out the tears
If this old house were build on memories
                       A    
I would stand a thousand years
This old house     this old house
If this old house was built on memories I would stand a thousand years

Take another look before you lock my door
Where your shoes  have worn the finish from my floor 
Listen to my banging pipes my creaking stairs
Let your boys slide down my banister once more

I'll remember where you hid that extra key
Where the hammer and the bandaids used to be
I will smell your morning coffee in the air
And I'll see you hanging tinsel on the tree

I've been strong and I've been sturdy
And I've weathered every storm
I've always kept your family safe and warm
Now you're packing up the laughter
And you're sweeping out the tears
If this old house were build on memories
                       A    
I would stand a thousand years
**This old house     this old house
If this old house was built on memories I would stand a thousand years

**Repeat from 'This old house' and end.
