Pickles From the Jar Lyrics

I say "dance", you say "dance"
I say "France", you say "France"
You're from Adelaide, I'm from Hobart

I say "Hugh", you say "Grant"
I say "pot", you say "blunt"
You're from Adelaide, I'm from Hobart

We couldn't be more contrary if we tried
Oh chalk and cheese we barely see eye to eye

I am dumb, you are smart
We are fifteen years apart
You're from Adelaide, I'm from Mars

I say "ooh", you say "ah"
I am careful, you like scars
I like pickles from the jar

We couldn't be more contrary if we tried
Oh chalk and cheese we barely see eye to eye

I say "you", you say "yeah my"
You like mornings, I like nights
I love you till the day I die

You say "Christopher", I say "Walken"
You love, I love Christopher Walken
I guess at least we have got one thing on common

We couldn't be more contrary if we tried
Oh chalk and cheese we barely see eye to eye
