Buying a 114-year-old schoolhouse turned out to be a good idea!
Lyrics:
Jack and Jill went up the hill and bought the farm.
What a thrill to find such treasures in the barn!
Enough to pay the rent and for the operation, too.
She may be breaking down, but look up. Oh what a view!

Things have gotten better and they're getting better still.
Great white elephant on the hill.
There's been so many changes, so many comin still,
Great white elephant on the hill.

Jack be nimble, Jill was quick. She got her way.
"Idle hands are the Devil's work," they always say.
The pieces fall in place, now could you place it on my bill?
We will build this house, this home upon the hill.

Things have gotten better and they're gettin better still.
Great white elephant on the hill.
There's been so many changes, so many comin still,
Great white elephant on the hill.

!!!

I'd type something in here, but it'd be completely ineffectual for my feelings regarding this song.

Incredible.

got to admit, I sung along to this in the middle of the library... i got more than a few awkward looks, but there were 3 people who asked me who sung that and I sent them here. You have a great song here
