Your mama thinks I'm lazy,
Your daddy runs down my name
But you said you'd love me,
Come sunshine or come rain
Well I'll hold you to it, Julie,
Don't you fret and pout
This story has a happy ending
Even though for now

[Chorus]
This Romeo ain't got Julie yet
I love you so and you can bet
I'd follow you to Timbuktu
Like Scarlett followed Rhett
But this Romeo ain't got Julie yet

Just meet me 'round the old man's
Barn 'bout ten o'clock tonight
I'll have my Chevy humming
And take you for a ride
Throw the dog a big ol' bone
And make sure your bags are packed
We're headed for that silver moon
And may never come back

[Chorus]

Yeah, I'd follow you to Timbuktu
Like Scarlett followed Rhett
But this Romeo ain't got Julie yet
