There's a little yellow shanty,just outside of town,
In Phoenix Arizona, USA
Though the outside, needs repair,There's love and friendship there,
with songs to help, chase the blues away.

There's an owl on the staircase, and spiders everywhere,
with pictures on every wall and frame.
Sol, can fiddle up a tune, as we howl up to the moon,
in his little poor man's shanty in the lane.

You'll never feel Dispair as you walk around and stare ,
at the poems and the writings on the wall.
Hot Coffee's on the boil, with treats for one and all,
with home-spun advise from uncle Sol.

"If you only have one lemon,you can stir up lemon aid,
If you have too much already,give the other half a-way.
If you only have a Shanty, you can fill it up with love,
give as you receive ,you'll always have enough."

If you're feeling down and blue there's one thing you can do,
to forget about your trouble and your pain.
Go knock n Sol's backdoor, you'll be welcome that's for sure,
in his little poor man's shanty in the lane.

There's an owl on the staircase, and spiders everywhere,
with pictures on every wall and frame.
Sol, can fiddle up a tune, as we howl up to the moon,
in his little poor man's shanty in the lane.
