Mudcatters usually manage to surprise with a list of songs. Are there any suggestions for something appropriate for a housewarming party?

Thank you, some research to be done.

Well I guess Little Tim could be put to good use lighting the BBQ but would he stop there?

You might consider Fred Small's song which is actually titled "Housewarming."

Here's the lyrics:

Words and music by Fred Small
© 1981 Pine Barrens Music (BMI)
Recorded on Love's Gonna Carry Us, Acquifer 1001

Housewarming

Brick and wood, mortar and plane,
Labor's love, a little faith,
You can see the structure taking form;
Ancient tools, a new design,
Taking care, taking time,
We've seen so many houses fall before.

Chorus:

We are building a house growing tall before our eyes,
Stone on stone watch it rise;
We are building a house with our hands, with our songs,
May it stand as long as our lives.

As we tinker with the plans,
Gentle friends lend their hands
Laying down a sturdy hardwood floor;
For the future from the past,
Room to change, built to last,
Come the storms of winter we'll be warm. (CHO)

Bridge:

And sometimes you'll need a vacation
(I'll need one too)
Sunning on the sand, running in a blinding rain;
After the recreation
We can sleep in our own bed again.

That easy chair you've always known,
Photographs from long ago,
Thanksgiving Day parade moving in;
So many books upon the shelves,
So much more to teach ourselves,
Under this roof we shall begin. (CHO)

Cheerily,
Charley Noble

How about Bill Caddick's song "House Raising" (I think I've got the title right).
