F

I was headed straight home just to see you

F C7

When I saw some old friends that I knew

C7

So I stopped for a couple cervezas

C7 F

But I swear I was thinkin of you

F

I put on my hat for my exit

F C7

When who would walk in through the door

C7

A man you might call a bandito

C7 F

And he told us to lay on the floor

F

Well he took what he could from the cash box

F C7

And he took all my pay from this week

C7

Just when I thought that it was all over

C7 F

He said, "Hey boy you're comin with me"

Chorus:

F

Well your love is one in a million

F C7

And I'm sorry for what they have done

C7

They all try to come in between us

C7 F

Now our love's a million to one

Well you asked me to meet you at the movies

And I knew we'd have such a good time

Meryl Streep in a part with an accent

Well, it sounds like a favorite of mine

But I came on an elderly woman

Her child had been taken away

She said by a pack of wild dingos

Well what would you do in my place

I followed that trail of the dingos

One they put up a terrible fight

But I finally retrieved her baby

And we drank to the end of her plight

Chorus

Accordion Solo

Well you called me the very next mornin

And you said that we needed to talk

But my car wouldn't start on that evening

So to your house I started to walk

On a moonlit dark sketch of highway

Well, something quite strange happened there

For above all these lights started flashing

And they pulled me straight up in the air

Well, the aliens were not what I expected

But their problem was perfectly clear

Some dingos had stolen their babies

I got 'em back and we drank their space beer

Chorus

They all try to come in between us

Now our love’s a million to one
