(Bill Phillips)

'Cause we stuck together through the lean, lean years
The lean and hungry years were filled with strife
Now we're still together in the green, green years
And we'll stay together for the rest of our life.

I've seen love come and gone just like the winter's snow
I saw a boy break his darling's heart
But his love wasn't true like my live is for you
And darling, I will never break your heart.

'Cause we stuck together through the lean, lean years
The lean and hungry years were filled with strife
Now we're still together in the green, green years
And we'll stay together for the rest of our life.

At first it was so hard for us to make a start
But we kept on trying every day
Your kisses were so sweet and you were nice to me
And darling, you slipped me off my feet.

'Cause we stuck together through the lean, lean years
The lean and hungry years were filled with strife
Now we're still together in the green, green years
And we'll stay together for the rest of our life...
