Song Lyrics

She don`t like her eggs all runny
She thinks crossin` her legs is funny
She looks down her nose at money
She gets it on like the Easter Bunny
She`s my baby I`m her honey
I`m never gonna let her go

He ain`t got laid in a month of Sundays
I caught him once and he was sniffin` my undies
He ain`t too sharp but he gets things done
Drinks his beer like it`s oxygen
He`s my baby
And I`m his honey
Never gonna let him go

In spite of ourselves
We`ll end up a`sittin` on a rainbow
Against all odds
Honey, we`re the big door prize
We`re gonna spite our noses
Right off of our faces
There won`t be nothin` but big old hearts
Dancin` in our eyes.

She thinks all my jokes are corny
Convict movies make her horny
She likes ketchup on her scrambled eggs
Swears like a sailor when shaves her legs
She takes a lickin`
And keeps on tickin`
I`m never gonna let her go.

He`s got more balls than a big brass monkey
He`s a wacked out werido and a lovebug junkie
Sly as a fox and crazy as a loon
Payday comes and he`s howlin` at the moon
He`s my baby I don`t mean maybe
Never gonna let him go

In spite of ourselves
We`ll end up a`sittin` on a rainbow
Against all odds
Honey, we`re the big door prize
We`re gonna spite our noses
Right off of our faces
There won`t be nothin` but big old hearts
Dancin` in our eyes.
There won`t be nothin` but big old hearts
Dancin` in our eyes.

(spoken) In spite of ourselves
