I woke up feeling dreadful
after a night out on the town
and did my best to smile
but could only frown
The lady laying next to me
said "who the hell are you"
which shows how rough I looked that morn
as it was my love so true
She berated me with words so harsh
for getting in that state
asking when I'd got home
she knew it must be late
But for all the questions put to me
for answers I had none
no idea where I'd been
or of what I'd done
Picking up the phone and dialling
my wife did ring my pal
The Spanish Inquisition
they had nothing on this gal
He got asked a thousand questions
at the speed of light
and as luck would have it
he got them mostly right
As the conversation finished
and she put down the phone
my darling wife looked at me
and said in a sweet tone
Apparently you behaved yourself
even while off your head
telling all and sundry
of the lovely girl you'd wed
About how much you were missing me
while being out alone
and what you were going to do to me
when you got back home
You told them all you loved me
and that you'd married well
in fact anyone that listened
you did gladly tell
So with a smile she kissed me
while whispering in my ear
she said "I love you too my darling"
as she shed a tear
And that is why I'm happy
and content as I can be
'cause the girl I love and treasure
is also loving me
