This boy and this girl fighting Pirates out at sea Forced to walk the plank If they look down they'll see The sharks are circling 'Cause they look good to eat The boy looks to the girl And shakes his head The girl looks to the boy and says, "Come on let's do it 'cause, "I'm sick of falling off This carousel I've had enough Take my hand and jump I'll save you my love Won't you meet me on The other side of giving up And forget everything Forget everyone." This boy and this girl fighting Just like musketeers Against all the king's men He's got them cornered in The basement of the bastille With cannons drawn The girl looks to the boy So forlorn The boy looks to the girl And says "Come on lets do it 'cause, "I'm sick of falling off This carousel I've had enough Take my hand and jump I'll save you my love Won't you meet me on The other side of giving up And forget everything Forget everyone." This boy and this girl fighting Cowboys in the west The judge says "Hang 'em high boys, "Hang 'em by their necks" And as the ropes come down To tighten 'round their throats The boy says to the girl, "Why did we bother?" and The girl says to the boy, "At least we've got each other 'cause Forget everything, forget everyone Forget everything, forget everyone
