A Shack in the Back of the Hills

< instrumental opening > 

 

It's only a shack in the back of the hills,

but it's more than a palace to me!

It may be a shack in the back of the hills,

but it's heaven for Molly and me!

There's a cute little thing

that we vowed to back there,

and he rules like a king from his tiny highchair!

 

It's only a shack in the back of the hills,

but it's more than a palace to me!

 

< instrumental bridge with whistling > 

 

There's a cute little thing

that we vowed to back there,

and he rules like a king from his tiny highchair!

 

It's only a shack in the back of the hills,

but it's more than a palace to me!
