They passed an ordinance in the townThey said we'd have to tear it downThat little old shack out back so dear to meThough the health department saidThis day was over and deadIt will stand forever in my memoryDon't let them tear that little brown building downDon't let them tear that precious building downDon't let them tear that dear old building downFor there's not another like it in the country or the townIt was not so long ago I went tripping through the snowOut to that house behind my old houndWhere I'd sit me down to restLike a snowbird on his nestAnd read the Sears and Roebuck catalogAh, he's seen one of them, I knowWell, I would hum a happy tunePeeping through the quarter moonAs my daddy's kin had done beforeIt was in that quiet spotDaily cares could be forgotIt gave the same relief to rich and poorDon't let them tear that little brown building downDon't let them tear that precious building downDon't let them tear that dear old building downFor there's not another like it in the country or the townWell, it was not a castle fairBut I could dream a future thereBuild my castles to the yellow jackpotsDroneI could orbit around the sunFight with General WashingtonOr be a king upon a golden throneIt wasn't fancy built at allWe had newspapers on the wallIt was air-conditioned in the wintertimeIt was just a humble hutBut its door was never shutAnd a man could get inside without a dimeDon't let them tearThat little brown building downDon't let them tear that precious building downDon't let them tear that dear old building downFor there's not another like it in the country or the town
