U AND I

(T. Beechey)



U and I were just letters hangin' out on Alphabet Row

I hung out near the middle and U was on down below

I was friends with J and K, U liked to watch T V

So they never saw each other except occasionally

Guitars and suits brought U and I together for a while

And Buicks and even druids made both U and I smile

But, other than that, U and I always stayed apart

Though each lived in the other's thoughts and soul and heart



U and I, I and U

Letters just doin' what letters do

I know it sounds funny, but it's true

U and I, I and U

I and U, U and I

Down on Alphabet Row just gettin' by

Maybe, someday...well, they can try

I and U, U and I



Every time U was under, I was always inside

When U was up, I was instead somewhere itchin' to hide

Wherever U usually was, I was invariably not

So U and I never got to see each other quite a lot

One day, though, U was told something about cuisine

And that was about the happiest that U had ever been

When I learned, too, he jumped for joy, so very excited was he

"At last, " he said, "both U and I will be together, you see!"



U and I, I and U

Letters just doin' what letters do

I know it sounds funny, but it's true

U and I, I and U

I and U, U and I

Down on Alphabet Row just gettin' by

Maybe, someday...well, they can try

I and U, U and I



The day finally came and U and I stood side-by-side at last

But everythin' moved too quickly and time went by so fast

At the end of the day, U and I were back where they belonged ---

Or at least until the bluebirds begin to sing their song

I quite often thinks about U and wonders how she's been

U knows someday that she and I will be together again

As long as there's buildings in ruin and fruit to guide the fly

There will always be a moment to share for U and I
