Cohousing-L Mailing List: There's No Housing Like Cohousing! -- Four verses!

[Ann Zabaldo (zabaldo]

Hi all --

Please see below the lyrics to this song.  Add a verse!  Thanks to  
everyone who scoured up the verses in time for the  bus tour this past  
Sat. here in the DC area.

The All Natural, Range Free Kohousing Kazoo Band had a great time  
playing and singing this at one of the bus tour stops.  Mercifully,  
this was the Kohousing Kazoo Band's one and only performance in the  
area...  America's Got Talent R Not Us ... :-)

Enjoy !

There’s NO Housing Like COhousing!

1. There's no housing like cohousing,
like no housing I know.
We designed it all from floor to ceiling,
common house and all the units, too.
everything about it is appealing,
and now we're seeing our dreams come true.

2. There's no people, like Co-people
They strive for Community
Anonymous suburbia this sure won't be!
We're neighborhood and we're family
Young and old live side-by-side in harmony,
Let's get on with the show

3. There's no housing like cohousing,
There's no housing I know!
Every time you turn around, a meeting
Trying just to get proposals out
Someone always has to bring up values
I want to scream, holler and shout!

4. There's no living like co-living
Like no living I know!
But then we have a picnic and it's great to see
The kids running around in glee
And neighbor helping neighbor out is mighty neat
Like no housing I know
I'm glad I live in co!
