Now, when you see two women
Runnin' hand in hand
And neither one a-worried

About the other one's man

They got a good understandin'

Yes, a good understandin'
You know a good understandin
Can make ev'rything alright


Now, when you see two dogs
Nawin' on the same bone

It ain't no growlin'
An a-fightin' goin' on


They got a good understandin'
Yes, they got a good understandin'
You know a good understandin

Can make ev'rything alright

[sax & instrumental]


Now, when the lamb and the lion
Can lay side by side

An rover lick the tom cat
In his eye


They got a good understandin'
Yes, they got a good understandin'
You know a good understandin

Can make ev'rything alright

Yes, a good understandin

Can-a make ev'rything alright.
