Lyrics
Two lost souls on the highway of life
We ain’t even got a sister or brother
But ain’t it just great, ain’t it just grand?
We’ve got each other
Two lost ships on a stormy sea
One with no sail and one with no rudder
But ain’t it just great, ain’t it just grand?
We’ve got “each udder”
Two lost sheep, in the wilds of the hills
Far from the other Jacks and Jills
We wandered away and went astray
But we ain’t fussin’, cuz we’ve got “us ‘n”
Two lost souls on the highway of life
And there is no one with whom we would “ruther”
Say, “Ain’t it just great, ain’t it just grand?
We’ve got each other”
Mamma said, “No” so we eloped
And though we ain’t got the castle
For which we hoped
We’ve got a lot
Becuz we’ve got each other
