Now I ve been marr__ied
About six months
Only six months you_ see_
The first three months
Was all ok
The last three__s killin __ me
My wife began to hissin
She cut down on her kissin
And then she failed to shi_ne my shoes
My shirts they came up wrinkled
My pants with dirt were sprinkled
And I too__k the first year blues
Well then she started naggin
She left the sink a saggin
With dishes piled up high
No food upon the table
She said if I get able
I d cook something bye__ and bye__
Then I began to wonder
If I had made a blunder
When I__ said I_ do
She must have read my thinkin
Her eyes began to blinkin
And that gal broke in two__
Well I heard the dishes crashin
And I began to dashin
Gettin out of sight
For right there was my honey
On who I d spent my money
Turnin in__ to dy__na_mi__te
Then after she d exploded
Her meanness all unloaded
And things began to simmer down
I found myself a bleedin
And very much a needin
Of stitches taken a__ll around
Well then she started cryin
I felt myself a sighin
And then I took her in my arms
I was afraid to scold her
So I just gently told her
She didn t do___ a bi__t of ha__rm
Now the first six months is over
And I m much the older
And experienced with a__ wife
If I can take the next six
My friends all say I ll be fixed
To take i__t the rest of my__ li__fe
