      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
