[Verse 1] (John Prine)

She don't like

 her eggs all 

runny

She thinks crossin' her legs is funny

She looks down

 her nose at m

oney
    
She gets it on

 like the East

er Bunny

She's my baby,

 I'm her honey
              
I'm never gonn

          
a let her go

[Verse 2] (Iris DeMent)
   
He ain't got l

aid in a month

 of Sundays

Caught him once and he was sniffin' my undies
   
He ain't too s

harp but he ge

ts things done

Drinks his bee

r like it's ox

ygen

He's my baby, 

and I'm his ho

ney
              
Never gonna le

      
t him go

[Chorus]
(           
In spite of ou

 
rselves
              
We'll end up a

              
-sittin' on a 


rainbow
            
Against all od

ds
              
Honey, we're t

            
he big door pr

ize
            
We're gonna sp

ite our noses
              
Right off of o

   
ur faces
              
There won't be

             
 nothin' but b

       
ig old hearts
              
Dancin' in our

 
 eyes

[Instrumental]
                
              

[Verse 3] (John Prine)

She thinks all

 my jokes are 

corny

Convict movies make her horny

She likes ketc

hup on her scr

ambled eggs

Swears like a 

sailor when sh

e shaves her l

egs
     
She takes a li

ckin', and kee

ps on tickin'
              
I'm never gonn

          
a let her go

[Verse 4] (Iris DeMent)
     
He's got more 

balls than a b

ig brass monke

y

He's a wacked out weirdo and a lovebug junkie

Sly as a fox, 

crazy as a loo

n

Payday comes a

nd he's a-howl

in' at the moo

n

He's my baby, 

I don't mean m

aybe
              
Never gonna le

      
t him go

[Chorus]
(           
In spite of ou

 
rselves
              
We'll end up a

              
-sittin' on a 


rainbow

ize
            
We're gonna sp

ite our noses
