Chorus (2x):

Will you stay in our Lovers' Story

If you stay you won't be sorry

'Cause we believe in you

Soon you'll grow so take a chance

With a couple of Kooks

Hung up on romancing





We bought a lot of things to keep you warm and dry

And a funny old crib on which the paint won't dry

I bought you a pair of shoes

A trumpet you can blow

And a book of rules

On what to say to people when they pick on you

'Cause if you stay with us you're gonna be pretty kooky too





Chorus





And if you ever have to go to school

Remember how they messed up this old fool

Don't pick fights with the bullies or the cads

'Cause I'm not much cop at punching

Other people's dads

And if the homework brings you down

Then we'll throw it on the fire

And take the car downtown





Chorus 2x
