about

A Vegas kind of song, patterned after fats Waller's "Ain't Misbehavin" I'm serious! The word "it" appears twice in a row... can you find it?

lyrics

House Of Cards

The wolf is knockin'
Oh don't you hear him
Your House is rockin'
Don't you go near him
You better stop him
Before he starts to blow
It's going to tumble hard
Your little house of cards

For you to make it
It didn't take long
Now when you break it
Won't take no King Kong
One little push and
You'll wind up on the ground
It's going to tumble hard
Your little house of cards

Trading your hearts for diamonds
Now when it falls it's just bad timing

You got the keys and
You got to live there
But when you find there's
Nothing to give there
Don't come expecting
Somebody else to care
It's going to tumble hard
Your little house of cards
