This Is the House that Jack Built

This is the house that Jack Built.
This is the Legislature
That lives in the house that Jack built.

This the Ballot
That elected the Legislature
That lives in the house that Jack built.

This is the Money
That bought the ballot
That elected the Legislature
That lives in the house that Jack built.

 

This is the Politician
That paid the money
That bought the ballot
That elected the Legislature
That lives in the house that Jack built.

This is the Trust
That owns the politician
That paid the money
That bought the ballot
That elected the Legislature
That lives in the house that Jack built.

This is the Housewife
That is oppressed by the trust
That owns the politician
That paid the money
That bought the ballot
That elected the Legislature
That lives in the house that Jack built.

This is the Remedy
That is needed by the housewife
That is oppressed by the trust
That owns the politician that paid the money
That bought the ballot
That elected the Legislature
That lives in the house that Jack built.

Original Mother Goose
The House that Jack Built
This is the house that Jack built.
This is the malt
That lay in the house that Jack built
This is the rat
That ate the malt
That lay in the house that Jack built.
This is the cat
That killed the rat
That ate the malt
That lay in the house that Jack built.
This is the dog
That worried the cat
That killed the rat
That ate the malt
That lay in the house that Jack built.
This is the cow with the crumbled horn
That tossed the dog
That worried the cat
That killed the rat
That ate the malt
That lay in the house that Jack built.
This is the maiden all forlorn
That milked the cow with the crumbled horn
That tossed the dog
That worried the cat
That killed the rat
That ate the malt
That lay in the house that Jack built.
This is the man all tattered and torn,
That kissed the maiden all forlorn
That milked the cow with the crumbled horn
That tossed the dog
That worried the cat
That killed the rat
That ate the malt
That lay in the house that Jack built.
This the priest all shaven and shorn
That married the man all tattered and torn
That kissed the maiden all forlorn
That milked the cow with the crumbled horn
That tossed the dog
That worried the cat
That killed the rat
That ate the malt
That lay in the house that Jack built.
This is the cock that crowed in the morn,
That waked the priest all shaven and shorn
That married the man all tattered and torn
That kissed the maiden all forlorn
That milked the cow with the crumbled horn
That tossed the dog
That worried the cat
That killed the rat
That ate the malt
That lay in the house that Jack built.
This is the farmer sowing his corn
That kept the cock that crowed in the morn,
That waked the priest all shaven and shorn
That married the man all tattered and torn
That kissed the maiden all forlorn
That milked the cow with the crumbled horn
That tossed the dog
That worried the cat
That killed the rat
That ate the malt
That lay in the house that Jack built.
