Thinking of todays conveniences and how easy it is to do things today brought back a few memories.
Lyrics
Ye Olde Outhouse
Remember the outhouse with the two hole seat
No air conditioner ventilation or heat _______{Chorus
A half moon cut out of the door
White washed walls and concrete floor
A distance it was to visit this site
A lantern to light your path at night
Toilet paper was not an issue
Catalogues we used as tissue
When nature called you had to go
A path you cleared of winters snow
All through the cold it was a bummer
But so much better during summer
Remember the outhouse with the two hole seat
No air conditioner ventilation or heat ________{Chorus
A half moon cut out of the door
White washed walls and concrete floor
There was an arbor with climbing rose
Its scent was pleasing to my nose
Bugs and bees shared our domain
Flies and mice out of the rain
The only weapon a can of spray
To clear the pests out of our way
Cautious sitting was the best
And hoped not near a hornets nest
Remember the outhouse with the two hole seat
No air conditioner ventilation or heat ________{Chorus
A half moon cut out of the door___________ {Instr. Brk
White washed walls and concrete floor
Nestled beneath was a setting hen
She chose this site instead of pen
Grandmom sat down bottom bare
And scared the hen into the air
She was a sight for all to see
With bloomers hanging at her knee
She ran bewildered and in fright
And ever since has not been right
Remember the outhouse with the two hole seat
No air conditioner ventilation or heat ________{Chorus
A half moon cut out of the door
White washed walls and concrete floor
A half moon cut out of the door
White washed walls and concrete floor
