you got cash to spare

C
You want a house, but you like to roam,
D

so you look around for a seafaring home,

with none of that dull permanence
C
that men ab hor.
D
And lady, if your husband's alcoholic,
G
this'll put him on the water for good.
Now houseboats come in
C
a lot of forms,

there's a monstrous kind

with its own front yard

that'll heel right over if
D
you breathe too hard.
G
You can only take her out
C
if the water's like glass

watch out for cracks
But you sign the paper and
you board the boat
D
And prepare for livin' like
a king afloat
G
When you suddenly
C
G
find you're up the creek
Cause a doggone cellar's gone
D
and sprung a leak
G
And brother, when your cellar
gets flooded
C
on a houseboat
D
You get a sinkin' feeling in
G
the livin' room
Of course, if that were all,
C
it wouldn't be so bad
D
But your heir to trouble's
job never had
G
There's gnats, mosquitoes,
C
D
bugs galore,
C

mildew rot,
and a warping floor,
and your clothes will start
C
sprouting penicillin.
And the planking collapses
D
when your kid pokes at it with a

lollipop stick.

cause it roars and sparks,

to enjoy the view,
D

lest the tide and the wind

are going that way, too.
G
Of course, maybe you can hire someone

to tow you at a nominal fee,

So you'd better swallow
C
your pilgrim's pride
D
by an empty lot by the waterside.

and take her in tow.

Drag her up on shore,
D
G
far as she can go.
Cause it takes a heap of livin'

But like the tow boatman said,
G
C
G
Em
say that sure is a heap of ship.
