This was recorded by the Staple Sisters, then Jesse Winchester. I love the message, and changed the song (significantly) to work with preschoolers.
What does it take to make a house a home? 3x
It takes more than a hammer and nails.
[clap 3x], a hammer and nails 3X
More than a hammer and nails.
Show your neighbor what a friend is for, 3x
With an open heart and an open door.
[clap 3x] An open heart,
[clap 3x] An open door,
[clap 3x] An open heart,
An open heart and an open door.
What does it take to make a house a home? 3x
It takes more than a hammer and nails.
