HIM: We never talk much
HER: We never have much to say
HIM: We never talk much
HER: We do without reparté
HIM: We never talk much
HER: You ask what we do all day
HIM: We play some records
HER: Discuss a novel
BOTH: And we just sit around

HER: We never walk much
HIM: Such crowds in the street below
HER: We never walk much
HIM: And where would we want to go
HER: We never walk much
HIM: 'Cause walkin' fatigues you so
HER: We look at pictures
HIM: I work at puzzles
BOTH: And we just sit around

HIM: We planned a lovely day tomorrow
HER: We've thought of ev'rything
HER: We found a canary that we can borrow
HIM: And tomorrow we'll sit around and let it sing

HER: We suit each other
HIM: We both think the same as one
HER: With one another
HIM: Just starin' at walls is fun
HER: I must tell Mother
HIM: Her warnings were overdone
HER: Don't know what you do
HIM: What is there to do
BOTH: We just sit around

HER: We suit each other
HIM: We both think the same as one
HER: With one another
HIM: Just starin' at walls is fun
HER: I must tell Mother
HIM: Her warnings were overdone
HER: Don't know what you do
HIM: What is there to do
BOTH: We just sit around, sit around, sit around
