Not completely certain of all words but do remember:
" Uncle Fetust writes a letter each and every single day ,
He beleives that writin letters keeps the Asian Flu away,
I got a Reservation , I was given it for free ,
Cause I killed all the flies in the State of Tenessee .
Uncle Joe cracks walnuts between his toes for fun,
he looks thru colored glass at the dark spots on the sun,
Sister Ezmerelda thinks her Mother was a Queen,
She wanders thru the garden,
Says King Solomon's just been.
Bridge:
Oh my, my, my, my, my, my, my,
It maked you wanna cry,
This is the house that Jack built , baby,
and it reaches up to the sky.
THie was on the A.M. radio in Nova Scotia , Canada , in the mid/late 60's
It can be played using 3 chords G, C, D .
PLease help , it's been bugging me for years !!

Just what I was thinking...the title is The House That Jack Built. Now there's more songs with that title, but this one is by the Alan Price Set (1967). Here's the lyrics that I found:
Brother Nigel paints the stairs with the signs of the Zodiac
Throws mink in the mirror as he stands in his plastic bag
My sister Emma rises ever round and round the garden
Spends the whole day saying I beg your pardon
Oh my my my my my my my
It makes you wanna cry
This is the house that Jack built baby
And it reaches up into the sky
Uncle Joe cracks walnuts inbetween his toes for fun
And looks through coloured glass at the dark spots on the sun
And Mary she believes that her mother was a queen
Keep saying you just missed him, King Solomon's just been
Oh my my my my my my my
It makes you wanna cry
This is the house that Jack built baby
And it reaches up into the sky
Oh my my my my my my my
It makes you wanna cry
This is the house that Jack built baby
And it reaches up into the sky
Cousin Festus writes a letter each and every single day
He believes that writing letters keep the Asian flew away
I got a reservation, now it's given it for free
'Cause I killed all the flies in the State of Tennessee
Oh my my my my my my my
It makes you wanna cry
This is the house that Jack built baby
And it reaches up into the sky
I'm coming
I'm coming
Please save the place for me
Oooh, I'm coming babe
Oooh, I'm coming babe
Oooh, I'm coming babe
