Pickles from the Jar Lyrics

[Spoken Intro]

[Verse 1]
I say "dance", you say "dance"
I say "France", you say "France"
You're from Adelaide, I'm from Hobart
I say "Hugh", you say "Grant"
I say "pot", you say "plant"
You're from Adelaide, I'm from Hobart

[Hook]
We couldn't be more contrary if we tried
Oh, chalk and cheese, we rarely see eye to eye

[Verse 2]
I am dumb, you are smart
We are fifteen years apart
You're from Adelaide, I'm from Mars
I say "ooh", you say "ahh"
I am careful, you like scars
I like pickles from the jar

[Hook]
We couldn't be more contrary if we tried
Oh, chalk and cheese, we rarely see eye to eye

[Verse 3]
I say "you", you say "am I"
You like mornings, I like nights
I love you 'til the day I die
You say "Christopher", I say "Walken"
You love, I love Christopher Walken
I guess at least we have got one thing in common

[Hook]
We couldn't be more contrary if we tried
Oh, chalk and cheese, we rarely see eye to eye
