Lyrics

(Bm)Once I had a hus band.

You (Em7)know the sort of chap.

I (A)met him at a dance and how he (Gm)came on with the (Bm)chat.

He (Bm)said my eyes were deep blue pools, my (Em7)skin as soft as snow.

He (A)told me I was sex i er than (Gm)Ma ri lyn Mon (B)roe.

And we went (Em7)danc ing,

we went (Gm)danc ing.

(Bm)Then, of course, I found that I was (Em7)six weeks o ver due.

We got (A)mar ried at the reg is try an’ (Gm)then we had a (Bm7)β€˜do’.

We all had (Bm)cur ly sal mon sand wich es, an’ (Em7)how the ale did flow.

The (A)bride, they said, was love li er than (Gm)Ma ri lyn Mon (B)roe.

(And we went (Em7)danc ing,

yes, we went (Gm)danc ing.)

(Bm)Then the ba by came a long.

We (Em7)called him Dar ren Wayne.

Then (A)three months on I found that I was (Gm)in the club a (Bm7)gain.

An’ though (Bm)I still fanc ied danc in’, my (Em7)hus band would n’t go with a (A)wife he said was twice the size of (Gm)Ma ri lyn Mon (B)roe.

No more (Em7)danc ing,

By the (Bm)time that I was twen ty five I (Em7)looked like for ty two.

With (A)sev en hun gry mouths to feed and (Gm)one more near ly (Bm)due.

Me (Bm)hus band, he walked out on me a (Em7)month or two a go; for a (A)girl they say who looks a bit like (Gm)Ma ri lyn Mon (B)roe.

And they go (Em7)danc ing,

Yes, they go (Em)danc ing,

they go (Gm)danc ing.
