Does a mortar need a pestle?
A curry a grind?
Does a monsieur need a madame?
An ooh need two la’s?
Does a sweat-bee need some pollen?
And flowers a bee?
Yes, Honey, we go together;
We go together...
Like scones and tea just after three,
Or cheese and wine at dinnertime,
We go together;
Yeah, we go together.
Does a mortise need a tenon?
A cue need a glaze?
Does an hombre need a mujer?
A tango take two?
Does a taproot need some wet earth?
And flowers a buzz?
Yes...
Does a fortune mean a soul-mate?
And love extreme care?
Does a body need a shelter?
A finger a ring?
Does a sloth-bear need a hide-out?
And bees a beehive?
Yes...

Call it combination, compilation, correlation,
We go together;
Like scones and tea, cheese and wine, bee and gorse,
We go together;
Like nut and bolt, yin and yang, G. and T.,
We go together;
Like verse and tune, music/dance, twit-twoo,
We go together;
Year, we go together.)
