I'm completely busted
My bank account has rusted
But why become disgusted
When we can live on love

Kisses are in season
And in between the squeezin'
You'll find 'em mighty pleasin'
When we can live on love

We'll be so rich in
Our parlour and kitchen
While laces you're stitchin'
With the housework I will pitch in

Later on we'll feature
A bouncing little creature
Let's run and tell the preacher
That we can live on love
