Remember the night we were goin' to the church dance,
And you came and asked me if your lipstick was smeared,
How you got so mad, cause I told the truth dear,
I can't see your lips for your mustache and beard.
Where Oh where are you tonight?
Why did you leave me here all alone?
I searched the world over and I thought I'd found true love,
You met another and Pfffft you was gone.
verse 2
You said we could save on our fire insurance,
With fire-crackers placed around our bedroom,
And if the noise should burst into the flame dear,
We'd be awakened by the loud boom boom.
Where Oh where are you tonight?
Why did you leave me here all alone?
I searched the world over and I thought I'd found true love,
You met another and Pfffft you was gone.
verse 3
You had funny ways there's no doubt about it,
You let your two feet hang out of the bed,
And when I asked you the reason you did it,
?I don't want cold feet in my bed? you said.
Where Oh where are you tonight?
Why did you leave me here all alone?
I searched the world over and I thought I'd found true love,
You met another and Pfffft you was gone.
verse 4
You never could see the new styles they're wearing,
Like women folks walkin' out around in men's pants,
And you couldn't see grown men wearin' rompers,
Instead of Uncles they look more like Aunts.
Where Oh where are you tonight?
Why did you leave me here all alone?
I searched the world over and I thought I'd found true love,
You met another and Pfffft you was gone.
Verse 5
Remember the night that I couldn't find you,
For you disappeared right after the ball,
In case you forgot I'd like to remind you,
I found you at Tootsies with old Tom Keyhole.
Where Oh where are you tonight?
Why did you leave me here all alone?
I searched the world over and I thought I'd found true love,
You met another and Pfffft you was gone.
Verse 6
When I told you I had thoughts of retirin',
When I reached the age of three score and ten,
You said I'd get tired of rockin' and thinkin',
Maybe at eighty I'd start work again.
Where Oh where are you tonight?
Why did you leave me here all alone?
I searched the world over and I thought I'd found true love,
You met another and Pfffft you was gone.
Verse 7
Remember the night we stopped at the drive-in,
You twisted my arm and gave me the shakes,
The waitress I kissed was not really flirtin',
I was just playing for much bigger steaks.
Where Oh where are you tonight?
Why did you leave me here all alone?
I searched the world over and I thought I'd found true love,
You met another and Pfffft you was gone.
