She don't like her eggs all runny
She thinks crossin' her legs is funny
She looks down her nose at money
She gets it on like the Easter Bunny
She's my baby I'm her honey
I'm never gonna let her go

He ain't got laid in a month of Sundays
I caught him once and he was sniffin' my undies
He ain't too sharp but he gets things done
Drinks his beer like it's oxygen
He's my baby
And I'm his honey
Never gonna let him go

In spite of ourselves
We'll end up a'sittin' on a rainbow
Against all odds
Honey, we're the big door prize
We're gonna spite our noses
Right off of our faces
There won't be nothin' but big old hearts
Dancin' in our eyes.

She thinks all my jokes are corny
Convict movies make her horny
She likes ketchup on her scrambled eggs
Swears like a sailor when shaves her legs
She takes a lickin'
And keeps on tickin'
I'm never gonna let her go.

He's got more balls than a big brass monkey
He's a wacked out werido and a lovebug junkie
Sly as a fox and crazy as a loon
Payday comes and he's howlin' at the moon
He's my baby I don't mean maybe
Never gonna let him go

In spite of ourselves
We'll end up a'sittin' on a rainbow
Against all odds
Honey, we're the big door prize
We're gonna spite our noses
Right off of our faces
There won't be nothin' but big old hearts
Dancin' in our eyes.
There won't be nothin' but big old hearts
Dancin' in our eyes.

(spoken) In spite of ourselves

Aw, this so sweet and funny. Great song choice.

I love this couple, and I adore this video.

[yesnotoaster]

Oh my god, this is adorable. I love it!

[saekhwa]

This is so adorable! You captured all of their ridiculousness but also their love and devotion to each other. Loved this!

[lunabee34]

I am a huge fan of this show, and I think you have captured the madcap goofiness of it as well as the poignancy and the deep love they have for each other. For yes, they all behave stupidly at times, but they all love each other so much and none so much as Burt and Virginia. Perfect song choice for those two.

[cold_river_blue]

Yay! This is so great, I just love it to pieces!

[actiaslunaris]

LOL. So delightfully cute and full of crack. Great song choice for this couple.

I don't know the source at all but it seems like a perfect song choice. :) And I got really sucked in--they're so dorky and funny and cute and I love the 'we're kinda hopeless but we love each other' theme. :D
