Viewing lyrics for In a House of a Smaller Size by Ruby Dee And The Snakehandlers.

I was born into a family of tranquility
When times got tough, we had to pack it up
I understand that means we’ll be a-moving
I only hope I get to keep my pup

My daddy taught me a thing or two about packing
And how to put my toys away in a box
I’m not too good at folding up my sweaters
So I’ll keep trying to find my polka dot socks

Chorus:
Now we’re moving on
Now it’s time to go
I have said my goodbyes
It’s not where you go
It’s not what you own
In a house of a smaller size

I spent my day looking for my baseball
But by and by I found my favorite kite
Well it ain’t easy moving to a new neighborhood
But it ain’t too tough remembering we’re alright

I’ll miss my neighbor and that makes me feel bad
But I’ve been told we’re not too far away
So I’ll make sure that he knows our new number
And once we’re moved, he’ll come over to play

Chorus

While I don’t like the fact that we had to move
And I’m pretty sure I lost things packing up
Mom and dad took special care to make it very good
And the best thing is I get to keep my pup

Chorus
-Solo-
Chorus- out
