See the lyrics to “Our House” by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young: Our House. Released in released in March 1970
I’ll light the fire
You place the flowers in the vase
That you bought todayVerse 2
Staring at the fire
For hours and hours while I listen to you
Play your love songs all night long
For me, only for meVerse 3
Come to me now
And rest your head for just five minutes
Everything is doneVerse 4
Such a cozy room
The windows are illuminated by the evening
Sunshine through them, fiery gems
For you, only for youChorus
Our house is a very, very, very fine house
With two cats in the yard
Life used to be so hard
Now everything is easy ’cause of youAnd our
La-la, la-la-la la la…La-la, la-la-la la la…
La-la, la-la-la la la…
Chorus
Our house is a very, very, very fine house (fine house)
With two cats in the yard
Life used to be so hard
Now everything is easy ’cause of youAnd our…Chorus
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our…Our house, it has a crowd
There’s always something happening and it’s usually quite loud
Our mum, she’s so house-proud
Nothing ever slows her down and a mess is not allowed
