< 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!
