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