Once I had a husband You know the sort of chap I met him at a dance And he came on with the chat He said my eyes were deep blue pools My skin as soft as snow He told me I was sexier than Marilyn Monroe And we went dancing We went dancing Then, of course, I found That I was six weeks overdue We got married at the registry An' then we had a do We all had curly salmon sandwiches An' how the ale did flow They said the bride was lovelier than Marilyn Monroe And we went dancing Yes, we went dancing Then the baby came along We called him Darren Wayne Then three months on I found that I was in the club again An' though I still fancied dancing My husband wouldn't go With a wife he said was twice the size of Marilyn Monroe No more dancing No more dancing By the time I was twenty-five I looked like forty-two With seven hungry mouths to feed And one more nearly due My husband, he walked out on me A month or two ago For a girl they say who looks a bit like Marilyn Monroe And they go dancing They go dancing Yes, they go dancing They go dancing
