Well they met at business college
She made a ledger of his heart
He never knew how good it felt
Until they pushed their desks together
He added up the minutes
They spent walking to her car
To know how much time wasted
He didn't need his calculator
And at the graduation party
On the final day of class
He probably drank a lot more cheap champagne
Than he intended
But the cake was almost taken
The hors-d'oevres were fading fast
And they were handing out certificates
To all those who attended
And as they leaned out on the window sill
He said, "You got fantastic people skills
And I've a flair for accounting
We've got the rest of our lives
At our disposal
So I hope you'll please consider
My following proposal"
"Let's move out to the country
And we'll open up a video store"
So she chose a wedding ring and then
Together they chose a town
The diamond in the desert
His fortune round her finger
Business names and colour schemes
Became points contended
And in quiet times his ideas
For a jingle he would sing her
Crowd for which they were hoping
Arrived at the grand opening
And in their hands
They waved their vouchers
They locked both the doors
At the end of the day's trading
And they held hands behind the counter
As on the town the sun was fading
Yeah they moved out to the country
And they opened up a video store
Wo-oo-oh
And he would always look to the quiet times
When the tapes were all returned
And they could sit back together
Relax and just rewind
And it seems that now the profits paid
A hair salon on Saturday
And the race track meeting on a Sunday
All perms must fall
She was starting to get lazy
And he shopped at the local Mensland
Because the prices were always crazy
Yeah they moved out to the country
And they opened up a video store
