Beats Me SE - Up and down the ladder Lyrics

Up and down the ladder

When you are about to paint your house
The weather's fine and then you have to climb
The ladder up and down repeatedly

Painting takes a very long time and it could
Go on for days and then you have to climb
The ladder up and down repeatedly

I like the job when there's no rain on me
And the paint is just over...

Lunch is here and food is waiting and it could
Be for an hour and then you have to climb
The ladder up and down repeatedly

It's great to enjoy the food
Why don't you take a small nap?
Then you are fit to go on with your painting
All the way around the house

Stepping up now on the ladder with enough
Colour and paintbrush you have to climb
The ladder up and down repeatedly

Now it's time coffee's waiting and it could
Be half an hour and then you have to climb
The ladder up and down repeatedly

A long time it was since I painted it
The old house up it must have been
Thirteen years or more I don't know

Finally the house is painted in the colour
I've been choosing and then you have to climb
The ladder up and down repeatedly
