I see those newlyweds, their eyes wide and believing    They bill and coo at the mention of Chez Nous    Appearances can be deceiving    It's just a door and a window    Four walls and a roof    But a home of your own would be shatterproof    A door and a window    Four walls and a roof    But a home of your own would be shatterproof       We papered over all the cracks and painted a cat's lick and a promise    The landlord was a man of few words, and most of them were ominous       It's just a door and a window    Four walls and a roof    But a home of your own would be shatterproof    A door and a window    Four walls and a roof    But a home of your own would be shatterproof       It was nothing really to write home about    Then one day it all appears too much    Here comes my little hammer and its shatterproof touch       He said, "Be practical,    These are most unreasonable demands.    Forget about the broken spectacles and the damage to your hand."       It's just a door and a window    Four walls and a roof    And the doctors say I'm almost shatterproof
