They smile and wave every time we meet
They've been together for the past five years
They're perfectly happy and perfectly queer
Its not a Brady Bunch episode
They're not the Cunninghams its not the Cosby Show
That black and white world didn't ever exist
Who says a family needs a mister and miss
They've got a dream
Picture the scene
They want to drive down to Vegas
Get married by Elvis
Get drunk on champagne and get legally laid
They'll cherish the kisses
As missus and missus
Now is that so terribly strange
Ain't it strange
"Give it a one one twenty in a Cadillac boom boom boom and me never look back"
Now it's a long, long way out of Buffalo
Thay've got the Dom on ice and a slice to go
In a top down Caddy in the desert breeze
Romeo and Juliet meet Thelma and Louise
They've got the radio, they've got one CD
Top 40 and some old Lou Reed
They got caffeine and gasoline
It's the Great Escape starring Jean McQueen
I think tonight
They'll both wear white
They want to drive down to Vegas
Get married by Elvis
Get drunk on champagne and get legally laid
They'll cherish the kisses
As missus and missus
Now is that so terribly strange
Ain't it strange
There's a real cool couple living on my street They smile and wave every time we meet They've been together for the past five years They're perfectly happy and perfectly queer Its not a Brady Bunch episode They're not the Cunninghams its not the Cosby Show That black and white world didn't ever exist Who says a family needs a mister and miss They've got a dream Picture the scene They want to drive down to Vegas Get married by Elvis Get drunk on champagne and get legally laid They'll cherish the kisses As missus and missus Now is that so terribly strange Ain't it strange "Give it a one one twenty in a Cadillac boom boom boom and me never look back" Now it's a long, long way out of Buffalo Thay've got the Dom on ice and a slice to go In a top down Caddy in the desert breeze Romeo and Juliet meet Thelma and Louise They've got the radio, they've got one CD Top 40 and some old Lou Reed They got caffeine and gasoline It's the Great Escape starring Jean McQueen I think tonight They'll both wear white They want to drive down to Vegas Get married by Elvis Get drunk on champagne and get legally laid They'll cherish the kisses As missus and missus Now is that so terribly strange Ain't it strange Explain Request ×
