You have heard of Cleopatra and Mark Antony
He in love with she, she in love with he
Romeo and Juliet were too - a loving pair
But I must declare none of them compare with
Me and the boyfriend, the boyfriend and me
We stick together like sap to a tree
He's like a diamond: a little bit rough
But when he loves me he does with his stuff
Sometimes we battle like all sweethearts do
After the battle, oh gee!
We sit in the park and get that kiss in the dark
I mean the boyfriend and me
Every night I dream of him, he also dreams of me
Because I can see what the end will be
I will take our married life and hang it on the wall
Waiting for love's call, sweetest of them all
Me and the boyfriend, the boyfriend and me
We pal together and keep company
He comes to my house and eats what there is
I'm on a diet when I go to his
Both of us working, we'll file some away
Out of our week's salary
When we save up ten bucks
Say, we'll be married deluxe
I mean the boyfriend and me
Me and the boyfriend, the boyfriend and me
We're like two love-birds that coo in a tree
We go to ball games and fights, you can bet
We don't miss nothing if passes we get
Saturday evening we take in a dance
Sunday in church we must be
We're not millionaires, but listen
Who the duck cares?
I mean the boyfriend and me
He drives the car for some big millionaire
And after hours, oh gee!
The country is grand and how he drives with one hand
I mean the boyfriend and me
