One of my favorite songs…

My take on “Our House” during summer vacation from school.

Ode to my teenage boys.

 

Our House (Previously sung by Crosby, Stills & Nash) Remake by Erin Cooper Reed

I’ll grab a shovel,
You find the handle, for the broom that we bought today.
Staring at this mess, for hours and hours while I listen to you,
Say you’ll clean it, all week-long for me, only for me.
Come to me now and turn off the Xbox live for just five minutes, everyone can wait.
Such a dirty room, the windows are illuminated,
By the evening, sunshine through those, dog nose prints for you, only for you.
Our house is a very, very, very fine house with a hockey net laying in the yard,
Why is putting things away so hard?
Now everything is messy ’cause of you.
And our, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah…
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
Blah, blah, blah, blah…
Our house is a very, very, very fine house with a hockey net laying in the yard,
Why is putting things away so hard?
Now everything is messy ’cause of you
And our,
I’ll grab a shovel, while you find the handle for the broom that we bought today-ay-ay-ay.

    1. I saw them years ago in Boston, Crosby, Stills & Nash, An Acoustic Evening. Small Venue. Amazing!! And for anyone who didn’t get the broom reference… my kids are forever unscrewing the broom handle from the base. My Life, I Swear!

      1. I would have loved to see them too!! Ha did I get the broom reference just on autopilot? Yes… cuz my son would do too and have even come home in the past to a car washing brush hooked up to mop the floors! Although I did have to give conceptual props for that 😊
