Girl of my dreams

Meet someone I'll adore
Someone who'll make me laugh
Someone to be my better half
Keep me warm under the sack

Making less pay it seems
What do I do this for
Got to get out some more
Go down to the grocery store
Meet someone I'll adore
Someone who'll make me laugh
Someone to be my better half
Keep me warm under the sack
Share with me my midnight snack
House of my dreams
Things are as bad as they seem
My parents' house I'll stay for free
Till I'm at least 43
