Lyrics
vs1a
Look at us, sittin' pretty
Like we got the keys to the city
Oh, now! Oh, now!
vs1b
Yesterday, meals at the diner
Now today, coq au vin on china
Oh, now! Oh, now!
ch1
We're a couple of kids from nowhere
They thought we'd just disappear
We're thumbin' our nose at the nonbelievers
Oh, now! Oh, now! And we're swingin' on a chandelier
vs2a
There's was never no relyin' on luck
I counted on you and you counted on me
Two together. Never say never. Oh
vs2b
Time to chill out and put our feet up
Forget the time's you and me were beat up
Oh, they'll never know. That's just how it goes.
ch2
We're a couple of kids from nowhere
They thought we'd just disappear
We're thumbin' our nose at the nonbelievers
Oh, now! Oh, now! And we're swingin' on a chandelier
bridge (instrumental)
ch3
We're a couple of kids from nowhere
They thought we'd just disappear
We're thumbin' our nose at the nonbelievers
Oh, now! Oh, now! And we're swingin' on a chandelier
