[D]She don't like her eggs all runny
She thinks a’crossin' her legs is funny
[G]She looks down her nose at money
She [D]gets it on like the Easter Bunny
[A]She's my baby, I'm her honey
I'm never gonna let her [D]go [A] [D]
Well he [D]ain't got laid in a month of Sundays
I caught him once and he was sniffin' my undies
He [G]ain't real sharp but he gets things done
[D]Drinks his beer like it's oxygen
But [A]he's my baby, and I'm his honey
I’m never gonna let him [D]go [A] [D]
In spite of our-[G]selves
We'll end up a'sittin' on a [D]rainbow
Against all [A]odds
Honey, we're the big door [D]prize [A] [D]
We're gonna [G]spite our noses
Right off of our [D]faces
There won't be nothin' but big old [A]hearts
Dancin' in our [D]eyes [A] [D]
(Some cool finger picking)

[D]She thinks all my jokes are corny
Convict movies make her horny
[G]She likes ketchup on her scrambled eggs
[D]Swears like a sailor when she shaves her legs
She [A]takes a lickin', and keeps on tickin'
I'm never gonna let her [D]go [A] [D]
Well he’s [D]got more balls than a big brass monkey
He's a wacked out weirdo and a lovebug junkie
[G]Sly as a fox, crazy as a loon
[D]Payday comes and he's a’howlin' at the moon
But [A]he's my baby, I don't mean maybe
I’m never gonna let him [D]go [A] [D]
In spite of our-[G]selves
We'll end up a'sittin' on a [D]rainbow
