A Hatchet, A Hammer, A Bucket Of Nails - Perry Como

A hatchet, a hammer, a bucket of nails 
An' all the wood I can find 
I'll build me a cabin on top of the hill 
Got all the plans in my mind . . . 
Where the tree tops talk to the wind 
Where the eagle flies 
I'll bring her to see it the minute I'm through 
Won't she light up with surprise! 
A hatchet, a hammer, a bucket of nails 
An' just my two hands, but with some help from above 
The walls will start risin', the roof will go on 
The final touch will be love . . . 
Where the tree tops talk to the wind 
Where the eagle flies 
The preacher will bless us as we hurry to 
Our happy home in the skies . . . 
As soon as we're married, 
We're movin' in to 
Our happy home in the skies . . . 
( A hatchet, a hammer, a bucket of nails . . . ) 
Our happy home in the skies . . .
