Lyrics

No (Dm)mat ter where they (G7)go

they are (G7)known as the (Dm)cou ple.

They’re (Gm)nev er seen a (C7)lone,

so they’re (C7)known as the (Gm)cou ple.

As I’ve in di (Bb)cat (Bb6)ed,

they are nev er (G7)quite sep a rat ed, (Bbmaj7)they are peas in a (Dm7)pod.

Don’t you (F7)think that it’s odd?

Their (Dm)hab its, I con (G7)fess,

none can (G7)guess with the (Dm)cou ple.

If (Gm)one says no, it’s (C7)yes,

more or (C7)less, with the (Gm)cou ple.

But they’re laugh prov (Bb)vok (Bb6)ing;

yet they real ly don’t (Dm7)know they’re (F7)jok ing.

Don’t you (Bb)find

when love is (C7sus)blind

it’s kind of (F)odd!

No (Dm)mat ter where they (G7)go

they are (G7)known as the (Dm)cou ple.

They’re (Gm)nev er seen a (C7)lone,

so they’re (C7)known as the (Gm)cou ple.

As I’ve in di (Bb)cat (Bb6)ed,

they are nev er (G7)quite sep a rat ed, (Bbmaj7)they are peas in a (Dm7)pod.

Don’t you (F7)think that it’s odd?

No (F)odd!

(Gm7)Don’t you think it’s (C7)odd?

(Gm7)Don’t you think it’s (C7)odd?

(Gm7)Don’t you think it’s (C7)odd?
