Tiny houses give us shelter,
Tiny houses strong and beautiful!
Tiny houses give us shelter,
They keep us dry and warm.
There’s a green one and a pink one,
And a blue one and a yellow one.
And they all are strong and beautiful
And we call them home.
And the people in the houses
Have all known such adversity.
We all need to have houses,
Tiny houses are a start.
We are workers and parents
Who struggle to make ends meet,
And we all need to have houses
That we can call home.
Evry person in this city
Should have shelter to keep us dry,
To protect us and our children
From the storms that life brings.
So we celebrate tiny houses
As a step in the right dir-e-ection.
Tiny houses built so lovingly
And we call them home!
