Lyrics
1. We get along just dandy
We never fight or fuss
That’s gonna come in handy
To you and me and us
‘Cause when the wedding’s thru’ with
That’s when most couples fight
‘Bout what they’re gonna do with
And where they’re gonna light
They argue as to where they’ll settle down
As long as I get you, you name the town
Refrain:
Anywhere from Borneo to Buffalo
As long as I’m with you
Take your pick from Syracuse to Buenos Aires
Any place will do
I’d gladly settle down out in Nebraska
Up in Alaska or even Peru
Anywhere from Timbuctoo to Kalamazoo
As long as I’m with you
2. It doesn’t matter whether
We’re here or if we’re there
As long as we’re together
We’ll be a happy pair
We’ll set a good example for other folks to see
I’ll show them all a sample of generosity
If you’re with me, I’ll always be content
And even though we’re living in a tent
