As I looked around your place
and saw the smile on your face
I knew you’re one of a kind
You completely blew my mind
My intuition about me and you
Told me that our love was true
It said you were the one
and we’d have more than fun
It’d be a love I had been dreaming of
Since I was a little boy
When I looked up to my parents
and I’d pray I’d have that kind of joy
Now you and I are both students
Here in the heart of Central Illinois
As sure as cowboys love shootin’
I know we’re the Real McCoy
Real McCoy
Real McCoy
We’re true love
We’re the Real McCoy
I deeply care about your parents
They treat me as one of the family
Mom and Dad are impressed with you
And I love your gentle sincerity
Our dates have been so wonderful
We complement each other so well
Like a well-mannered gentleman
and a sweet & sassy Southern Belle
It’s the love I’ve been waiting for
Since I was a little boy
When I looked up to my parents
And I’d pray I had that kind of joy
Now you and I are students
Here in the heart of Central Illinois
As sure as farmers love farming
I know we’re the Real McCoy
As sure as farmers love farming
As sure as cowboys love shootin’
As sure as fishers love fishing
And Minnesotans say “Darn Tootin!”
I know we’re the Real McCoy
Real McCoy
Real McCoy
We’re true love
We’re the Real McCoy.
