G C G
The noises you made at our supper table
D
Your habits, my dear, were surely absurd
G C G
But how many times do I have to tell you
D G
Soup is a dish to be seen and not heard
Chorus:
G C G
Where, where, are you tonight?
D
Why did you leave me here all alone?
G
I searched the world over,
C G
And thought I found true love.
You met another and
D G
Phht! you were gone.
G C G
Remember you phoned me a-sobbin' and cryin'
D
The dog bit your maw, and drug her around
G C G
You said she looked pale and thought she was dying
D G
I said "Don't worry, I'll buy a new hound."
Chorus:
G C G
Where, where, are you tonight?
D
Why did you leave me here all alone?
G
I searched the world over,
C G
And thought I found true love.
You met another and
D G
Phht! you were gone.
G C G
I went to your house at three in the morning.
D
You had all them curlers and junk in your hair.
G C G
You would not have scared me and I'd not have run so,
D G
If you had not looked like you'd wrestled a bear.
Chorus:
G C G
Where, where, are you tonight?
D
Why did you leave me here all alone?
G
I searched the world over,
C G
And thought I found true love.
You met another and
D G
Phht! you were gone.
G C G
You took out your false teeth, your wig and your glasses.
D
And you shoud've seen the look on my face
G C G
I wanted to kiss you and hug you so tightly.
D G
I guess that I would have if I'd found your face.
Chorus:
G C G
Where, where, are you tonight?
D
Why did you leave me here all alone?
G
I searched the world over,
C G
And thought I found true love.
You met another and
D G
Phht! you were gone.
G C G
I know that you loved me, here's my way of knowing
D
The proofs hanging out right there on the line
G C G
When I see the snow and feel the wind blowing
D G
Your nighties hugging them long johns of mine
Chorus:
G C G
Where, where, are you tonight?
D
Why did you leave me here all alone?
G
I searched the world over,
C G
And thought I found true love.
You met another and
D G
Phht! you were gone.
G C G
I told you, my darlin', you looked like a gopher.
D
Made you so mad, you haven't spoke since.
G C G
But tell me my darling if you ain't got buck teeth.
D
How do you eat apples through a picket fence?
Chorus:
G C G
Where, where, are you tonight?
D
Why did you leave me here all alone?
G
I searched the world over,
C G
And thought I found true love.
You met another and
D G
Phht! you were gone.
G C G
When I picked you up for our date last weekend.
D
You looked so pretty in satin and lace.
G C G
But when I bent over and started to kiss you,
D
You popped a pimple all over my face!
Chorus:
G C G
Where, where, are you tonight?
D
Why did you leave me here all alone?
G
I searched the world over,
C G
And thought I found true love.
You met another and
D G
Phht! you were gone.
G C G
Down here on the farm the weather gets messy
D
Laying around with nothin' to do
G C G
When you went away, you took my cow Bessie
D
I miss her darling, more than I miss you
Chorus:
G C G
Where, where, are you tonight?
D
Why did you leave me here all alone?
G
I searched the world over,
C G
And thought I found true love.
You met another and
D G
Phht! you were gone.
The song goes on as long as you can make up verses.
