In their discombobulated lives no matter what occurs
Mrs Um and Mr Er never quite concur
Continually at loggerheads
Sparring is their game
Life like this is normal now
Really it's a shame

Mrs Um for her hols wants to fly to Spain
Mr Er would prefer Turkey on the train

Mrs Um would like a dog, what he says to that
Is well now let me see, er, I think we need a cat

Where to put the cross this time
I don't know do you
Mrs Um votes red
Mr Er votes blue

So they end up doing nothing
As on nothing they agree
How they ever got together
Certainly beats me
There was an old woman from Fife
Who put seaweed in her pipe
She said it's good stuff
It's cheap enough
But it can be a job to light

Her husband knew she was an unusual wife
But he let her do whatever she liked
At the end of the day
He used to say
I love her, she's my life
