You Me and Us
Alma Cogan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We are my favourite people
We all go together like peaches and cream
Or bells with a church and a steeple
Some people I know, I'm fond of and so
All day I keep singing about them
For one of them's you and, Darling, it's true
You, me and us
We are my favourite people
We all go together like peaches and cream
Or bells with a church and a steeple
The stars were as bright as diamonds the night
We met and we danced and we flirted
With one look at you, my dream had come true
And nothing will ever divert it
You, me and us
We are my favourite people
We all go together like peaches and cream
Or bells with a church and a steeple
Now, outside of town we all settled down
Our place isn't big, but it's cosy
I know that you're mine and ev'rything's fine
Our future forever is rosy
You, me and us
We are my favourite people
We all go together like peaches and cream
Or bells with a church and a steeple
Yes, we all go together like peaches and cream
You, me and us!

I’m 19, my grandmother used to sing this to me as a baby. She sung it today to my new born cousin and so many emotions ran through my body. Just nostalgia and wholesomeness. :))
@chrigare
Brings back so many memories when life was fun... and you could actually understand what the singer was saying. Sadly she left us too early.

A wonderful melody with very humorous lyrics.
