C                                  C 
She don't like her eggs all runny, She thinks crossin' her legs is funny 
F                                 C 
She looks down her nose at money, She gets it on like the Easter Bunny, 
G                             G                           C 
She's my baby, I'm her honey, I ain't never gonna let her go. 

C                                         
He ain't got laid in a month of sundays,  
C 
caught him once he was sniffing my undies 
F                                           C 
He ain't too sharp but he gets things done, drinks his beer like its oxygen 
G                                G                   C 
He's my baby, and I'm his honey, Never gonna let him Go 


C           F                                    C 
In spite of ourselves, we'll end up sittin' on a rainbow 
            G                              C                  F 
Against all odds, Honey we're the big door prize, we?re gonna spite, our 
                       C                                         G 
noses right off of our faces, There won't be nothing but big old hearts 
               C 
dancing in our eyes. 

Instrumental: C     F     C        F         C         F       C       C        G 

Rest of the song continues as normal: 

C                                  C 
She thinks all my jokes are corny, Convict movies make her horny, 
F                                        C 
She likes ketchup on her scrambled eggs, swears like a sailor when she 

shaves her legs. 
G                                                              C 
She takes a lickin', and keeps on tickin', Never gonna let her go 

C                                             
He's got more balls than a big brass monkey,  
C 

He's a whacked out weirdo and a lovebug junkie 
F                              C 
Sly as a fox, Crazy as a loon, Payday comes and he's a-howling at the moon, 
G                                                     C 
He's my baby, I don't mean maybe, Never gonna let him go
