Verse:

Man -y build -ers there have been Since the world be -gan

Pal -ace, cot -tage man -sion, Inn, They have built for man

Some were small, and some were tall Long or wide or low.

But the best one of them all Jack built long a -go

'Twas built in by -gone days Yet mill -ions sing its praise.

 

Chorus:

Just a love nest Co -sy with charm

Like a dove nest Down on a farm

A ver -an -da with some sort of cling -ing vine

Then a kitch -en where some ramb -ler ros -es twine

Then a small room Tea set of blue

Best of all room Dream room for two

Bet -ter than a pal -ace with a gild -ed dome

Is a love nest You can call home.
