Oh well we were E born within an hour of each other
Our mothers E said we could be sister and brother
Your name is A Deborah… Deborah… it never A suited you
And they E said that when we grew up
We’d get E married, and never split up,
Oh we never A did it… although I often A thought of it

Oh Deborah, do you Bm recall
Your house was very Bm small
With woodchip on the Bm wall
And when I came round to Bm call
You didn’t notice me at E all, and I said

A Let’s all meet up in the year 2000
C#m Won’t it be strange when we’re all fully F#m grown
Be there two o’clock by the Bm fountain down the E4 road E
A I never knew that you’d get married,
C#m I would be living down here on my F#m own
On that damp and lonely Bm Thursday years a-E4 go-E o

You were the E first girl in school to get breasts
And Martin E said that you were the best
Oh the boys all A loved you, but I was a mess
I had to A watch ’em try to get you undressed

I used to E walk you home sometimes but it meant
Oh it meant nothing A to you… ‘cause you were so A popular

Oh Deborah, do you Bm recall
Your house was very Bm small
With woodchip on the Bm wall
And when I came round to Bm call
You didn’t notice me at E all, and I said

A Let’s all meet up in the year 2000
C#m Won’t it be strange when we’re all fully F#m grown
Be there two o’clock by the Bm fountain down the E4 road E
A I never knew that you’d get married,
C#m I would be living down here on my F#m own
On that damp and lonely Bm Thursday years a-E4 go-E o
