Well they met at business college
|
She made a ledger of his heart
|
He never knew how good it felt
|
Until they pushed their desks together
|
|
He added up the minutes
|
They spent walking to her car
|
To know how much time wasted
|
He didn't need his calculator
|
|
And at the graduation party
|
On the final day of class
|
He probably drank a lot more cheap champagne
|
Than he intended
|
|
But the cake was almost taken
|
The hors-d'oevres were fading fast
|
And they were handing out certificates
|
To all those who attended
|
|
And as they leaned out on the window sill
|
He said, "You got fantastic people skills
|
And I've a flair for accounting
|
We've got the rest of our lives
|
At our disposal
|
So I hope you'll please consider
|
My following proposal"
|
|
"Let's move out to the country
|
And we'll open up a video store"
|
|
So she chose a wedding ring and then
|
Together they chose a town
|
The diamond in the desert
|
His fortune round her finger
|
|
Business names and colour schemes
|
Became points contended
|
And in quiet times his ideas
|
For a jingle he would sing her
|
|
Crowd for which they were hoping
|
Arrived at the grand opening
|
And in their hands
|
They waved their vouchers
|
|
They locked both the doors
|
At the end of the day's trading
|
And they held hands behind the counter
|
As on the town the sun was fading
|
|
Yeah they moved out to the country
|
And they opened up a video store
|
Wo-oo-oh
|
|
And he would always look to the quiet times
|
When the tapes were all returned
|
And they could sit back together
|
Relax and just rewind
|
|
And it seems that now the profits paid
|
A hair salon on Saturday
|
And the race track meeting on a Sunday
|
All perms must fall
|
She was starting to get lazy
|
And he shopped at the local Mensland
|
Because the prices were always crazy
|
|
Yeah they moved out to the country
|
And they opened up a video store
|
