Pee Wee and Fern

Born Melvin Vernon in depression days 

Not enough to eat so he was small for his age

He always said that he could not be tamed,

"I'll do big things just the same, if Pee Wee is my name"

Fern was working in a restaurant

Pee Wee said, "the coffees not so hot"

She just looked at him so unconcerned 

But the whole world seemed to turn, when Pee Wee looked at Fern

It's another great American love story 

This time it just happened in Missouri

Two common people, with an uncommon love

The scholars and the poets, they could learn, from Pee Wee and Fern

They saved their money and they made their way

They made an Eden out of dirt and clay

They worked the crops and raised a family

And in Missouri, love still burns, for Pee Wee and Fern

It's another great American love story 

This time it just happened in Missouri

Two common people, with an uncommon love

The scholars and the poets, they could learn, from Pee Wee and Fern
