[Db] Picture a [Fm] little love nest
[F] [Db] down where [Ab] the roses [Eb] swing.
[A] [G] Picture [Gm] that same [Ab] sweet love nest, [Db] that's what [B] the [Gm] years can [Ab] bring.

[Gb] [G] [A]
[Bb] He [Db] [G] doesn't make [Fm] much money, [Ebm] only five thousand [Cm] bucks.
[Fm] [Db] Some [E] judge [Fm] thinks he's funny, [F] [Eb] says you pay [Ab] six to [Bb] her.
[Fm] Now [Eb] he says, [C] Judge, suppose I [D] fail?
[Gb] [Eb] Judge says, Bud, right in the [Abm] jail, [Eb] you better keep up.
Yeah I think it's cheaper, [Fm] [Eb] to make a whoopie, [Ebm]
