Version 1 Version 2
            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 it's oxygen
G                                G                   C
He's my baby, and I'm his honey, never gonna let him go
[Chorus]
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 break]
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
Chorus x2 and fade out.
