Lyrics
I may not have a new washing machine
I may not have a fur coat to wear
Tonight for dinner we'll be eatin' beans
We may not have an extra dime to spare
But I don't mind clothes from second hand stores
I know that some day we'll be makin' more
You're all I need you're everything
You're my King and I'm your Queen
Queen for life, not just a day
Queen because I'm your wife!
I may not have a new kitchen appliance
Our furniture is all hand-me-down
We can't afford the things of modern science
We may be renting in the old part of town
But I love you, now don't you see
When I'm with you I feel like royalty
I love you, you're everything
You're my King and I'm your Queen
Queen for life not just a day
Queen because I'm your wife!
