verse 1 She tried to push him away With a ten foot pole Saying, "I'm just a crusty old doughnut Without any hole" Weary and bewildered bachelor How could he know She'd move her suitcase to his place A year ago verse 2 There he stood in the doorway No clothes wearing Asking permission to give all his Love and his caring Love and care verse 3 Theirs is a real thing A dish in the sink A dog in the stairwell Making a stink They got a true love So real you can feel it verse 4 For Christmas he gave her A silver and gold Jewish star He put it on top of the tree And said, "There you are" She giggled and cried And rolled on the living room floor And laughed at all of his jokes So he told her some more Verse 5 There he stood in the doorway Crumpled and daring Asking permission to give all his Love and his caring Love and care Verse 6 Theirs is a real thing A working man's shoe Worn through at the sole As good as new They got a true love So real you can feel it Bridge Five o'clock by the window pane, watching the rain New York city blues Oh, the rain's coming down hard, it's dark out there You gotta have something to do Verse 7 So one day she said, "I must go to Alaska this winter" He yelled and kicked the table His toe got a splinter Still he escorted her up to the gate at the airport Saying, "Damn it, I don't understand what you have to go there for" Verse 8 Calendar pages were flipping He stayed home waiting Saying, "Oh, this woman I love is So irritating" Verse 9 Theirs is a real thing A welcome home kiss The smell of his whiskers That she did miss They got a true love So real you can feel it
