lyrics

Most of the time, booming love stories
Are just matters of affinities
You know, when two are mutually pleased
To share the very same antipathies

As one despising the whole human species
I didn't believe much in affinities
'Til one day, just like a fresh breeze
I met a woman who shared my disease

Han, han, han, han, han, han, han
Han, han, han, han, han, han, han
Han, han, han, han, han, han, han, han, han
Yeah, one day, just like a fresh breeze
I met a woman who shared my disease

She too looked blasé and cold as a deep-freeze
To name a few of our affinities
I found her, one of those oddities
While I was conveying sympathies

At one of those crowded funeral parties
The last place you'd look for affinities
She was the coolest of all them ladies
Well, yes indeed, she was the deceased

Han, han, han, han, han, han, han
Han, han, han, han, han, han, han
Han, han, han, han, han, han, han, han, han
She was the coolest of all them ladies
Well, yes indeed, she was the deceased

On love and all his mysteries
Here is my humble expertise
You'll miss the forest for the trees
If you ever overlook affinities

Well, as for me, now my soul is at ease
Oh, thanks to those blessed affinities
Along with my love, I live in peace
In one of the town's cemeteries

Far from the people and their vanities
We still cultivate our affinities
While I sing to her sweet melodies
She just keeps pushing up the daisies

Han, han, han, han, han, han, han
Han, han, han, han, han, han, han
Han, han, han, han, han, han, han, han, han
While I sing to her sweet melodies
She just keeps pushing up the daisies

On love and all his mysteries
Here is my humble expertise
You'll miss the forest for the trees
If you ever overlook affinities

Most of the time, booming love stories
Are just matters of affinities
You know, when two are mutually pleased
To share the very same deviancies

So find that one girl that suits your fancies
And swear to love her for all eternities
Then if she dies prior to her forties
Well, invite me to her obsequies

Then if she dies prior to her forties
Invite me to her obsequies

Oh wow, so that's your girl...

Well, if she dies prior to her nineties
Invite me to her obsequies
