Verse 1:

Went to school together,
Studied hard together,
But figures always worried me;
Gee, I never knew
One and one made two.
I was always wishin'
I could do addition,
And add you to my family,
You know what it's all about,
Help me figure this thing out:

Chorus:

You and I, I and you,
One and one are always two,
Won't you tell me, Hon,
When we're gonna be one?
You're so smart, I'm so dumb,
It takes two to do this sum,
Won't you tell me, Hon,
When we're gonna be one?
Let us hurry down to Parson Brown
And ring his front door bell;
Is he very slick in 'rithmetic?
Say, I can hear him yell:
"Children, when the knot is tied,
Multiply, but don't divide,"
Won't you tell me, Hon,
When we're gonna be one?

Verse 2:

'Member how the teacher,
Funny little teacher
Would love to keep me after school
With her two times two
That I couldn't do.
Any little number
Used to make me slumber,
And start me dreaming like a fool;
Yes, I'm just as bad right now,
Guess you'll have to show me how;

[Chorus]
