Ahhh… Spacklin’ walls they’re full of holes
We told the kids on the walls they must not post
Pictures of ghosts
Or Post-It™ notes
Not a fun time before all the painting

Smoothing down the spackled holes
Spackle again to make it blend into the wall
I’m trying to stall
They said at Home Depot that this would take no time


Oh I hate filling those holes
There’s not a way to make this snappy
Fill and sand and fill again
Spacklin’ holes it’s a chore that’s maddening
But Bob Vila says that it takes some planning
But he won’t be here when the work starts getting hard

Paint it now, paint it now, paint it now, oh baby

Spackled walls they make me smile
Oh, if it lasts for an hour I’ll be surprised
Do you surmise
The kids will not write
On this beautiful drywall I’ve spent so much time on

Oh I hate filling those holes
There’s not a way to make this snappy
Fill and sand and fill again
Spacklin’ holes it’s a chore that’s maddening
But Bob Vila says that it takes some planning
But he won’t be here when the work starts getting hard

Paint it now, paint it now, paint it now, oh baby
