M (con’t)
From: Pamela A: The Serendipity Singers performed this song (along with MANY other folktrad pieces).
CHORUS: Ah, ah, Oh, no, Don't let the rain come down,
Ah, ah, Oh, no, Don't let the rain come down,
Ah, ah, Oh, no, Don't let the rain come down,
My roof's got a hole in it and I might drown;
Oh yes my roof's got a hole in it and I might drown
There was a crooked man with a crooked little smile
He had a crooked sixpence and he walked a crooked mile;
Had a crooked cat and a crooked little mouse
And they all lived together in a crooked little house. CHORUS
Well, this crooked little man and his crooked little smile
Took his crooked sixpence and he walked a crooked mile
Bought some crooked nails and a crooked little patch
Tried to fix his roof with a rat-tat-tat-tat-tat <five knocks on wooden
surface> CHORUS
Now this crooked little man and his crooked cat and mouse
They all live together in a crooked little house
Has a crooked door with a crooked little latch
Has a crooked roof with a crooked little patch CHORUS (Soft)
CHORUS (Loudly)
Change the last two lines of the chorus to:
"My roof's got a hole in it (my roof's got a hole in it)
My roof's got a hole in it and I...might...drown.
