Build A Mansion

The apartment’s getting a little tight
Nothing ever works just right
No storage space
Unsafe fireplace
But we don’t have to sleep here tonight 

We’re gonna do something that’s never been done
In the morning, we’ll surprise everyone 
We’re gonna do it like millionaires
And we’re gonna do it right over there 

We’re gonna build a mansion tonight 
We’re gonna build a mansion, that’s right
It’s gonna be five stories high
The garage alone is a mile wide
All ten bathrooms shine with pride 
Lotta nooks and crannies where you can hide
If you just wanna stay inside 
The mansion that we’re gonna build tonight 

We can only have two people over
Even then, we sit shoulder to shoulder
Never have to pass the salt
None of this is our fault
It’s time to upgrade now that we’re older  

We’re gonna do what has never been done
When the sun shines, we’ll surprise everyone
We don’t need to pull no permits
And we ain’t gonna live like hermits

We’re gonna build a mansion tonight 
We’re gonna build a mansion, that’s right
It’s gonna be eight stories high
The back deck alone is three miles wide 
All twenty bathrooms shine with pride 
Lotta extra rooms where we can both hide 
When we just wanna chill inside 
The mansion that we’re gonna build tonight 

We got a flagpole shootin’ from the roof to the sky
I might fall off tryin’ to raise the flag, but I’ll try
Watcha mean, you can’t see it? I dunno why
It’s stone and brick and glass – just open your eyes
I wouldn’t lie
Here comes the plumbing guy
He’s got a wet bar he wants us to try
We can pour ourselves expensive rye
Whatcha mean, you can’t see it? I dunno why
I wouldn’t lie

Here’s a marble counter that I think we should buy
There’s a cool robot that swats all the flies
Our house is better than anything in Dubai
Oh I’m so glad you can see it with those glasses on your eyes
It’s our mansion, baby, please don’t cry        
It’s all true, I wouldn’t lie
My oh my
The neighbors are stoppin’ in to say hi
Because we finished our mansion in the sky 

We’re gonna build a mansion tonight
We’re gonna build a mansion, that’s right
It’s gonna be ten stories high
The back yard’s five miles wide
Maybe that’s where you become my bride 
We just gotta open our minds
Then close our eyes
And see that mansion that we built tonight
