Written when our Washington, D.C. house was up for sale in 1995. Terri Robinson was the Realtor through whom we bought this house in 1979. I moved back to Chicago when the house was sold.
Tune: Memories (from the musical Cats)
See There! Why, it's Terri's for Sale Sign!
Out in front of a fine house,
That you surely should buy!
That you surely should buy!
It's a red brick colonial,
With a slate shingle roof;
With a slate shingle roof;
And the price is not too high!
Eight rooms, with four bedrooms and bathrooms,
Plus a sunroom and basement,
Where the kids can have fun!
Where the kids can have fun!
On a nice street, with trees and grass and parking galore,
And with lots of light and sun!
------------------
Lots of room to dig a pool or Throw a huge garden party,
Your friends will drool,
They'll all say you're cool,
They'll all say you're cool,
And you'll feel like such a smarty!
------------------
Rock Creek, nicely graces your doorstep,
Rock Creek, nicely graces your doorstep,
Bus and Metro and cabs are,
Only footsteps away!
Only footsteps away!
With great shopping this is the best location in town,
Write that contract! Don't delay!
----------------
Write that contract, don't be doubtful,
Now is no time for stalling.
Someone else will snap it up, while interest rates are falling!
---------------------------
Buy it! You will never regret it!
All you need to do now is,
Give the agent a ring!
Give the agent a ring!
When you're living on Davenport, You've really arrived!
You'll be living, like a king!
---------------------------
Thirty-- two eighteen on Davenport,
If you owned it you could be
In your new home today!
In your new home today!
When you buy it you'll understand what happiness is!
Don't let this one get away!
