Straw House Down
Peter Mayer
I wish I were another pig
Living in better digs
Instead of bracing for the sound
Of this straw house down
I wish I weren't thinking how
I could have built it right the first time around
But I'm a not so lucky sow
In this straw house
Something hairy's in the air
Mister Wolf, I know you're there
So huff and puff and do your deed
It could be just the thing I need
To buy my second chance
And find a better plan
To build this house again
It was so cheap and quick
Not like that tediously time-intensive brick
But you can see it leans a bit
When you look at my straw house now
Maybe when the dust has cleared
Me and wolf will have a beer
And he will curl his lips
And offer me some helpful tips
But for now, I know
He's gonna blow this straw house down
Something hairy's in the air
Mister Wolf, I know you're there
So huff and puff and do your deed
It could be just the thing I need
To buy my second chance
And find a better plan
To build this house again
I wish I were another pig
Living in better digs
Instead of waiting for the sound
Of this straw house down
