This is the house that Jack built
With bricks and mortar and a roof of tiles
It stands on a hill overlooking the fields
Where Jack grows his crops and tends his yields

---

---

This is the cat that lives in the house
That Jack built with his own two hands
She sleeps on the sofa and chases the mouse
That nibbles on cheese and runs through the lands

---

---

This is the dog that guards the cat
That lives in the house that Jack built
He barks at the strangers and plays with the rat
That sneaks in the barn and makes a quilt

---

---

This is the cow that gives the milk
That feeds the dog that guards the cat
That lives in the house that Jack built
She grazes on grass and wears a hat

---

This is the farmer who owns the cow
That gives the milk that feeds the dog
That guards the cat that lives in the house
That Jack built with his own strong log

---

---

He pays Jack well for his work and skill
And praises him for his house so fine
He invites him to dinner and gives him a bill
For building a house just like mine.
