The Lyrics
HER: Hey, it weren’t long before it showed
When I found out how early you plateaued
HIM: We’ve come to blows, was overdue
'Cause you’re so twee, you haven’t got a clue
Babe
Can’t stand you babe
Can’t stand you babe
HER: A weighty dud you represent
No money’s earned, talk under wet cement
HIM: I’m stressing so, your dough’s spent on pot
Let us cease enduring, we’ve got diddly squat
Babe
Can’t stand you babe
Can’t stand you babe
HIM: Like a flower with a sting
You’re a pain in where? The ring
HER: And when I’m mad, wish you drowned
I really don’t care, how it’ll go down
HER: So, gotta say you’re always wrong
Together’s where, a place, we don’t belong
HIM: Yeah? Well you bitch, demand and whine
Swear, bet that Hil-ary ain’t as maligned
Babe
Can’t stand you babe
Can’t stand you babe
HIM: Sick of taking your commands
HER: I’ll see you on witness stand
HIM: I loathe how you’re bourgeoisie
HER: I want you in chalk. Dead. See?
Can’t stand you - so impolite
Can’t stand you - you’re never right
Can’t stand you - time for heave-ho
Can’t stand you? How apropos!
Can’t stand you babe
Can’t stand you babe
I hate you babe
Get a job babe
Go get stuffed babe
P O Q babe
Can’t stand you babe...
When I found out how early you plateaued
HIM: We’ve come to blows, was overdue
'Cause you’re so twee, you haven’t got a clue
Babe
Can’t stand you babe
Can’t stand you babe
HER: A weighty dud you represent
No money’s earned, talk under wet cement
HIM: I’m stressing so, your dough’s spent on pot
Let us cease enduring, we’ve got diddly squat
Babe
Can’t stand you babe
Can’t stand you babe
HIM: Like a flower with a sting
You’re a pain in where? The ring
HER: And when I’m mad, wish you drowned
I really don’t care, how it’ll go down
HER: So, gotta say you’re always wrong
Together’s where, a place, we don’t belong
HIM: Yeah? Well you bitch, demand and whine
Swear, bet that Hil-ary ain’t as maligned
Babe
Can’t stand you babe
Can’t stand you babe
HIM: Sick of taking your commands
HER: I’ll see you on witness stand
HIM: I loathe how you’re bourgeoisie
HER: I want you in chalk. Dead. See?
Can’t stand you - so impolite
Can’t stand you - you’re never right
Can’t stand you - time for heave-ho
Can’t stand you? How apropos!
Can’t stand you babe
Can’t stand you babe
I hate you babe
Get a job babe
Go get stuffed babe
P O Q babe
Can’t stand you babe...

Total 180 degree reversal from the original. Would make a great video. I've known couples like this.

What did I do? Well, I'll just point to the number 5.
Good and funny! I can imagine Sonny and Cher doing this version on their television show as their marriage broke up. Most excellent work, hobbits. ;D
Goes well with my divorce lament today...
. . I got clued, . . . Dave ! !
Very good negative of the original photo
Ahhh. Nothing like the sound of true loathe.
Far superior to the OS.
Nice to see your parodies again, Mer and Pip! Sounds like Sonny and Cher already! 555.
Thank you all! We are going to try and have something at least weekly.
very good, makes me feel right at home!
