I went into a house, and it wasn’t a house,
It has big steps and a great big hall,
But it hasn’t got a garden,
garden,
garden
It isn’t like a house at all.

I went into a house, and it wasn’t a house,
It has a big garden and a great high wall;
But it hasn’t got a may-tree,
may-tree,
may-tree,
It isn’t like a house at all.

I went into a house, and it wasn’t a house,
Slow white petals from the may-tree fall;
But it hasn’t got a blackbird,
blackbird,
blackbird,
It isn’t like a house at all.

I went into a house, and I thought it was a house,
I could hear from the may-tree the blackbird call…
But nobody listened to it,
Nobody
Liked it,
Nobody wanted it at all.
