English text

Sharks gotta swim,
and bats gotta fly,
I gotta love one woman
’til I die.

To Ed or Dick or Bob
she may be just a slob,
but to to me…
she’s my girl.

In winter the bedroom
is one large ice cube,
and she squeezes the tooth paste
from the middle of the tube,

her hairs in the sink
have driven me to drink,
and I love her.

The girl that I lament for,
the girl my money’s spent for,
the girl my back is bent for,
the girl I owe the rent for,
the girl I gave up Lent for
is the girl that heaven meant for me.

So though for breakfast she makes coffee
that tastes like shampoo,
I come home to dinner
and get peanut butter stew,

or if I’m in luck,
it’s broiled hockey puck
but, oh well,
what the hell,
she's my girl;
and I love her.
