Let's make a den   What shall we use?   Make it out of hay   Who will be leader?   In it we can play at both being mothers and fathers until we have   children of our own.      Let's make a den   What shall we use?   Make it out of wood   Who will be leader?   Wouldn't it be good if we could fight off rival gangs and take total   possession of the hill   For the rest of our days?      Isn't that what we can all look forward to when we grow up?   Isn't that what we can all look forward to?   Behind the door, women and men   Love and war inside of our den.      Let's make a den   What shall we use?   Make it out of bricks   Who will be leader?   In it how the sticks and stones will fly but my oh my won't we have   fun when later on we patch it up?      Let's make a den   What shall we use?   Make it from cement   Who will be leader?   In it we can pent up all of our fears but give presents each Christmas   like there was nothing ever wrong   For the rest of our days.      Isn't that what we can all look forward to when we grow up?   Isn't that what we can all look forward to?   Behind the door, women and men   Love and war inside of their den.      Well you can wear your brand new nurse's outfit,   And I can wear my brand new cowboy suit.   Everything unchanging   Just furniture arranging      Let's make a den   What shall we use?   Make it underground   Who will be leader?   Protect us from the flash and sound of the big stick they drop just   to stop us from cuddling and hanging on   For the rest of our days.
