Harry And The House Of Rock Lyrics

The young New Yorker, eager for the world, got caught up in the First World War.

He caught meningitis at old Fort Dix.

He wound up laying in the morgue.

They found him bleeding. Three days later. When he got better They needed more

They used his blood to inoculate other Soldiers heading off to the war.

He had a mind for knowledge, back built for work.

Practicality and beauty went hand in hand

He turned boys into knights and a couple of stone tents

Became Chateau La Roche.

Harry built a House of Rock.

Harry built a House of Rock.

In the desolation of the great conflict

He found beauty in an older time.

Desperate men were driven to lay stone walls.

They put their art in those ancient spires

When he got home, he bought some land on the banks of Little Miami.

Because of all the ugly things he'd seen, the church camp became K-O-G-T.

He had a mind for knowledge, back built for work. Practicality and beauty went hand in hand.

He turned boys into knights and a couple of stone tents

Became Chateau La Roche.

Harry built a House of Rock.

Harry built a House of Rock

One has to wonder what could get done,

As we waste of time against the clock.

Ten gallons at a time, sure determination, He built men and castles out of river rock.

Time marches on and Harry can't lift them, But his knights are taking on his part.

At the end of the trail, looking down from heaven,

Loveland Castle has stole our hearts

He had a mind for knowledge, back built for work.

Practicality and beauty went hand in hand.

He turned boys into knights and a couple of stone tents .

Became Chateau La Roche.

Harry built a House of Rock.

Harry built a House of Rock

Sir Harry and his House of Rock.
