I had a woman that loved me true

To cut a long story short

We got married on our honeymoon

To cut a long story short

Now we're together I'm afraid no more

To cut a long story short

Like billions of other people we're divorced

To cut a long story short

I don't believe that you can possibly

Give more than you get

Unless you talk about taxation

And the money that you care to bet

When I've got a problem I want to solve

To cut a long story short

I simply go out and have a game of golf

To cut a long story short

But I read a book that the book was great

To cut a long story short

It got a fine class of people like the chambermaid

To cut a long story short

I don't see how you could possibly

Take what you can get

When to get what you take

And man you really got to sweat

I don't believe that you can possibly

Give more than you get

Unless you talk about taxation

And the money that you care to bet

I've got a girlfriend her name is Jill

To cut a long story short

She doesn't take chances

So she takes the pill

To cut a long story short

I'm really positive that she is mine

To cut a long story short

Now I'm getting married for the second time

To cut a long story short

I don't see how you could possibly

Take what you can get

When to get what you take

And man you really got to sweat
