When we took this job I thought that you knew the deal

but all we got in our yard is a steering wheel
Bb
Well, I can't borrow this tuxedo much longer
F Bb
Well, we might have to cut and sell your long hair
F C F
I don't mind you wearing a wig, but I won't steal
Bb

And if they find out that we ain't real songwriters
F Bb
That we go Dutch on cigarette lighters
F C F
We're gonna lose the paradise that's in our hands
Bb
Well, honey, we can't afford to look this cheap
