Summary
A cream paper music sheet on which the score is printed on the internal pages in black ink. The title 'Our House Will be all Right When they Pull it Down and Build it Up Again' is printed in black ink on the front cover above a photograph of the head and shoulders of Bruce Green who is dressed as a woman. His hair, presumably a wig, is styled with a bun on top and one more over each ear. On the back are advertisements for two other pieces of music, each giving an extract of the piece. The second of these, a 'song fox trot' entitled 'Sahara' is called 'A Mysterious Song of the East' and 'The Most Called-for Fox Trot Ever Published'.
