| Song | What's He Building? |
| Artist | Tom Waits |
| Album | Mule Conversations |
| 作词 : Waits | |
| What's he building in there? | |
| What the hell is he building in there? | |
| He has subscriptions to those | |
| Magazines... He never | |
| Waves when he goes by | |
| He's hiding something from | |
| The rest of us... He's all | |
| To himself... I think I know | |
| Why... He took down the | |
| Tire swing from the Peppertree | |
| He has no children of his | |
| Own you see... He has no dog | |
| And he has no friends and | |
| His lawn is dying... and | |
| What about all those packages | |
| He sends. What's he building in there? | |
| With that hook light | |
| On the stairs. What's he building | |
| In there... I'll tell you one thing | |
| He's not building a playhouse for | |
| The children what's he building | |
| In there? | |
| Now what's that sound from under the door? | |
| He's pounding nails into a | |
| Hardwood floor... and I | |
| Swear to god I heard someone | |
| Moaning low... and I keep | |
| Seeing the blue light of a | |
| T.V. show... | |
| He has a router | |
| And a table saw... and you | |
| Won't believe what Mr. Sticha saw | |
| There's poison underneath the sink | |
| Of course... But there's also | |
| Enough formaldehyde to choke | |
| A horse... What's he building | |
| In there. What the hell is he | |
| Building in there? I heard he | |
| Has an ex-wife in some place | |
| Called Mayors Income, Tennessee | |
| And he used to have a | |
| consulting business in Indonesia... | |
| but what is he building in there? | |
| What the hell is building in there? | |
| He has no friends | |
| But he gets a lot of mail | |
| I'll bet he spent a little | |
| Time in jail... | |
| I heard he was up on the | |
| Roof last night | |
| Signaling with a flashlight | |
| And what's that tune he's | |
| Always whistling... | |
| What's he building in there? | |
| What's he building in there? | |
| We have a right to know... |
