All the people talk about
Everywhere they walkabout
Is "we", that little word "we"!
Say, it's a real good nifty word,
It's a fifty-fifty word
Is "we", that little word "we"!
Now me and my honey are still goin' strong,
And here's the reason that we get along;
I'll say, "I didn't do it!",
And he'll say, "Well I didn't do it!";
Who did it?
We did it,
We, my honey and me!
I'll say, "I've got a secret!",
And he'll say, "Well I got a secret!";
Who did it?
We know it,
We, my honey and me!
On a day in June when walkin' down from the altar,
I'll feel as big as the great big Rock o' Gibraltar!
And I'll say, "Well I didn't do it!",
And he'll say, "Well I didn't do it!";
Who did it?
We did it,
We, my honey and me!
(yodelling)
I'll say, "You do the dishes!",
But he'll say, "Ah, you do the dishes!";
Who does it?
We both do it,
We, my honey and me!
And I'll say, "You give the dog a walk!",
But he'll say, "Ah, you give the dog a walk!";
Who does it?
We both do it,
We, my honey and me!
When it comes to lovin' there's no-one else like my baby!
I depend on him and he never has told me "maybe!".
But I'd say, "I didn't do it!",
And he says, "Well I didn't do it!";
Who does it?
We do it,
We, my honey and me!
