She don't like her eggs all runny.
She thinks crossing her legs is funny
[F] She looks down and knows that money.
[C] She gets it on like the Easter Bunny.
[G] She's my baby
I'm her honey.
I'm never gonna let her [C] go
He ain't got laid in a month of Sundays caught him once and he was sniffing my undies
[F] He ain't too sharp, but he gets things done [C] drinks his beer like it's oxygen
[G] He's my baby, and I'm his honey.
Never gonna let [C] him go
In spite [F] of ourselves

She thinks all my jokes are corny
Convict movies and make her horny.

[C] Swears like a sailor when she shaves her legs.
[G] She takes a lickin and keeps on ticking
I'm never gonna let her [C] go
He's got more balls than a big brass monkey
He's whacked out weirdo and a love bug junkie [F] fly as a fox crazy as a loon
[C] Payday comes and he's a howling at the [G] moon.
He's my baby.
Don't mean maybe never gonna let him [C] go
In spite of [F] ourselves
We'll end up a sitting [C] on a rainbow
[Am] Against [G] all odds
Honey we're the big [C] door price
We're gonna [F] spite our noses right off [C] of our faces
There won't be nothing but big [G] old hearts dancing in [C] our eyes
