Down on First Avenue, there lived two girls
Laverne and Shirley they shared the same dream
To one day get rich and become a stars
Livin' on their own, never giving in
(Chorus)
They knew that they could make it,
if they just stuck together
They were like sisters,
through thick and thin
(Verse 2)
Laverne was a little loud and often got in trouble
But Shirley was always there for her, with her soft and gentle touch
Working at a diner, day after day
Saving up their money, making their way
(Chorus)
They knew that they could make it,
if they just stuck together
They were like sisters,
through thick and thin
(Verse 3)
In their basement apartment, they laughed and cried
Sharing their secrets and dreams under the neon lights
The world outside was changing, but they held on tight
To each other they stayed, through it all
(Chorus)
They knew that they could make it,
if they just stuck together
They were like sisters,
through thick and thin
(Bridge)
Oh Laverne and Shirley,
Your friendship will never fade
The laughs you shared and the tears you shed
Will be forever in my head
(Chorus)
They knew that they could make it,
if they just stuck together
They were like sisters,
through thick and thin
