I went into a house, and it wasn't a house, 
   It has big steps and a great big hall; 
But it hasn't got a garden, 
               A garden, 
               A garden, 
   It isn't like a house at all. 

I went into a house, and it wasn't a house, 
   It has a big garden and great high wall; 
But it hasn't got a may-tree, 
               A may-tree, 
               A may-tree, 
   It isn't like a house at all. 

I went into a house, and it wasn't a house — 
   Slow white petals from the may-tree fall; 
But it hasn't got a blackbird, 
               A blackbird, 
               A blackbird, 
   It isn't like a house at all. I went into a house, and I thought it was a house, 
   I could hear from the may-tree the blackbird 
      call… 
But nobody listened to it, 
               Nobody 
               Liked it,      
Nobody wanted it at all.
