Let's Make A Den

Let's make a den What shall we use? Make it out of hay Who will be leader? In it we can play at both being mothers and fathers until we have Children of our own Let's make a den What shall we use? Make it out of wood Who will be leader? Wouldn't it be good if we could fight off rival gangs and take total Possession of the hill For the rest of our days? Isn't that what we can all look forward to when we grow up? Isn't that what we can all look forward to? Behind the door, women and men Love and war inside of our den Let's make a den What shall we use? Make it out of bricks Who will be leader? In it how the sticks and stones will fly but my oh my won't we have Fun when later on we patch it up? Let's make a den What shall we use? Make it from cement Who will be leader? In it we can pent up all of our fears but give presents each Christmas Like there was nothing ever wrong For the rest of our days Isn't that what we can all look forward to when we grow up? Isn't that what we can all look forward to? Behind the door, women and men Love and war inside of their den Well you can wear your brand new nurse's outfit And I can wear my brand new cowboy suit Everything unchanging Just furniture arranging Let's make a den What shall we use? Make it underground Who will be leader? Protect us from the flash and sound of the big stick they drop just To stop us from cuddling and hanging on For the rest of our days
