we covered a duet that john prine and iris dement wrote, but switched all the parts and pronouns around.

lyrics

he don't like his eggs all runny
he thinks crossin' his legs is funny
he looks down his nose at money
he gets it on like the easter bunny
he's my baby
i'm his honey
i'm never gonna let him go

she ain't got laid in a month of sundays
caught her once and she was sniffin' my undies
she ain't too sharp but she gets things done
drinks her beer like it's oxygen
she's my baby
and i'm her honey
never gonna let her go

in spite of ourselves
we'll end up 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

he thinks all my jokes are corny
convict movies make him horny
he likes ketchup on his scrambled eggs
swears like a sailor when he shaves his legs
he takes a lickin'
and keeps on tickin'
i'm never gonna let him go

she's got more balls than a big brass monkey
she's a whacked out weirdo and a lovebug junkie
sly as a fox and crazy as a loon
payday comes and she's howlin' at the moon
she's my baby
i don't mean maybe
never gonna let her go

in spite of ourselves
we'll end up 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

in spite of ourselves
