Tables and Chairs - Electric Six

I’m done with the road

I need an abode

A door to put my keys in

I’ve been a rolling stone

But now going alone

Is akin to committing treason

Now, speaking of

We made it, love

It’s rhyme without reason

So come out from the forest

Move into the chorus

Cause it’s wood chopping season

But first we’ll build a bridge from here to there

Out of the finest mahogany

And then we’ll build a place to sit and stare

I can’t believe that you got to me

I see the meaning of life, girl

As a house becomes a home

And I’ve made you my wife, girl

Maybe you throw me a bone

Let me sit down at your

Table and chairs

Free from all cares

Let me drown in your stares

At your table and chairs

Now we’ve done our best

Passed every test

For co-habitation

But the registry sucks

I need 500 bucks

To finance your elation

«Some assembly required»

I’m already tired

And I’m owed an explanation

It’s a house-keeping heist

Oh, Jesus Christ

I think I need a vacation

But first we’ll apply a coat of varnish

With the best polyurethane

Preventing any measure of tarnish

And providing a pleasant stain

I’m drinking in the amazement

As a house becomes a home

And there’s a finished basement

For all my most treasured tomes

And look for your

Table and chairs

Free from all cares

Let me drown in your stares

At your table and chairs

Any house can be a home

If push comes to shove

But I really gotta know

Do we have enough space

Enough space for all this love

I could knock down some walls

Build an extension

Lay down some drywall

Trip the circuit breaker

And build an extension

I can get used to living anywhere

I used to live in a condominium with three other guys

I was paying 200 dollars a month

But this is way better

I got a table and chairs

I got a woman and a wife

I got a television the size of Oklahoma

I got a yard for my invisible dog

And my invisible fence

I can keep the government off my lawn

And I don’t need no government interference coming to screw with me

I got married to my wife

And we bought a house

(And also a table and chairs)
