Adding html Input inside an html label

Question

So I'm using Twitter Bootstrap and most of my forms are looking fantastic with this

       <div class="control-group">
            @Html.LabelFor(m => m.Prop)
            <div class="controls">
                @Html.EditorFor(m => m.Prop)
            </div>
            @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Prop)
        </div>

The only issue is with Radio Buttons and Check Boxes. Twitter Bootstrap calls for HTML5 style labels that include the radio or checkbox input INSIDE the label tag like this

        <label class="checkbox">
           <input type="checkbox"> Check me out
        </label>

If I can't create these with a with @Html or and overload can I at least get to the text that's created by Labelfor?

        <label class="checkbox">
           @Html.EditorFor(m=> m.Prop)
           @Html.TheVariableThatContainsTheTextThatLabelForUsesFor(m => m.Prop)
        </label>

Why can't you create these with an @Html. If you write your own extension method (see below) that should do it, no?

public static class HtmlHelperExtensions
    {
        public static MvcHtmlString MyCheckBoxFor<TModel>(this HtmlHelper<TModel> htmlHelper, Expression<Func<TModel, bool>> expression, object htmlLabelAttributes = null, object htmlCheckBoxAttributes = null)
        {
            var checkbox = htmlHelper.CheckBoxFor(expression, htmlCheckBoxAttributes);

            var labelTag = new TagBuilder("label");
            labelTag.AddCssClass("checkbox");
            labelTag.MergeAttributes(HtmlHelper.AnonymousObjectToHtmlAttributes(htmlLabelAttributes));
            labelTag.InnerHtml = checkbox.ToString();

            return new MvcHtmlString(labelTag.ToString());
        }
    }

EDIT:

How about this revised version. This replicates exactly what the label does.

public static class HtmlHelperExtensions
{
    public static MvcHtmlString MyCheckBoxFor<TModel>(this HtmlHelper<TModel> htmlHelper, Expression<Func<TModel, bool>> expression, object htmlLabelAttributes = null, object htmlCheckBoxAttributes = null)
    {
        var checkbox = htmlHelper.CheckBoxFor(expression, htmlCheckBoxAttributes);

        var labelTag = new TagBuilder("label");
        var checkboxName = ExpressionHelper.GetExpressionText(expression);
        labelTag.AddCssClass("checkbox");
        labelTag.MergeAttributes(HtmlHelper.AnonymousObjectToHtmlAttributes(htmlLabelAttributes));
        labelTag.InnerHtml = checkbox.ToString() + LabelHelper(ModelMetadata.FromLambdaExpression(expression, htmlHelper.ViewData), checkboxName);

        return new MvcHtmlString(labelTag.ToString());
    }

    private static MvcHtmlString LabelHelper(ModelMetadata metadata, string fieldName)
    {
        string labelText;
        var displayName = metadata.DisplayName;

        if (displayName == null)
        {
            var propertyName = metadata.PropertyName;

            labelText = propertyName ?? fieldName.Split(new[] { '.' }).Last();
        }
        else
        {
            labelText = displayName;
        }

        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(labelText))
        {
            return MvcHtmlString.Empty;
        }

        return new MvcHtmlString(labelText);
    }
}

I should note that with MVC 4 there is a DisplayNameFor Helper, so that whole label business could be simplified a bit.
