Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wipe out the problems of our society
(Shack up, shack up)
Means that we can live together, baby
Unless you can't see
(Shack up, shack up)
[Verse 2]
We can love together, work together
Sleep together
(Shack up, shack up)
So why can't we live together
And shack up, baby, shack up?
[Verse 3]
You can talk about the wedding ceremony
(Shack up, shack up)
And I know it's just a phony
(Shack up, shack up)
[Verse 4]
Marriage is a big commitment, yeah
(Shack up, shack up)
I bet you find life hard to live with
(Shack up, shack up)
[Verse 5]
I love you now
But that don't say I'm gonna love you forever
(Shack up, shack up)
So I don't believe in alimony
All day long
(Shack up, shack up)
[Verse 6]
Though I think we just ought to
Shack up, baby, shack up
