This is the way we lay the bricks
This is the way we lay the bricks
To make the walls strong and thick
This is the way we lay the bricks
All day long.
This is the way we saw the wood
Strong and good, strong and good
This is the way we saw the wood
All day long.
This is the way we hammer a nail
Hammer a nail, hammer a nail
This is the way we hammer a nail
All day long.
This is the way we clean the glass
We clean the glass, very fast.
This is the way we clean the glass
All day long.
All day long!
Ivor the driver
Ivor the driver brings bricks up the hill
The bricks for the house of Jack and Jill.
Jack lays bricks to build a wall
Jill mixes cement to make it tall.
Ivor brings tiles and stacks them in piles
They make the roof to keep out the rain
Until the sun comes out again.
This is the way we lay the bricks (reprise)
This is the way we lay the bricks
To make the walls strong and thick
This is the way we lay the bricks
All day long.
[ACTION: PRETEND TO LAY BRICKS]
This is the way we saw the wood
Strong and good, strong and good
This is the way we saw the wood
All day long.
[ACTION: SAWING WOOD]
This is the way we hammer a nail
Hammer a nail, hammer a nail
This is the way we hammer a nail
All day long.
[ACTION: HAMMERING NAILS]
This is the way we clean the glass
We clean the glass, very fast.
This is the way we clean the glass
All day long.
[ACTION: POLISHING GLASS]
This is the way we build the house
Build the house, Build the house
This is the way we build the house
All day long!
