I live in a tiny closet   A lukewarm cold water flat   With room for a couple of cinders   And a mouse, a hole and a trap      I don't worry about the flights   Or count the stairs   'Cause I know someone's there      I took a high paying sweeping-up job   Dusting after somebody else   Seeing that there's clean on the windows   Convincing the snow to melt      I don't worry about the ride   Or the subway fare   'Cause I know someone's there      One day we'll move uptown   Or even out to the country side   And for every leaf on a tree   We'll add one cub to the pride      Who cares if the floor ain't level   Or if the ceiling falls in   Haunted by the devil   Or ghosts and boogeymen      I can't be concerned   Why should I care   No place I'd go alone would compare   'Cause I know, I know you're there      One day we'll move uptown   Or even out to the country side   And for every leaf on a tree   We'll add one cub to the pride      Who cares if the floor ain't level   Or if the ceiling falls in   Haunted by the devil   And ghosts and boogeymen      I can't be concerned   Why should I care   No place I'd go alone would compare   'Cause I know, I know you're there
