Thanks Spm1, that's the one I heard a few years ago! Unfortunately I can't get into www.rapsody.com as I'm in the UK and it bars me. I've just spent the last couple of hours searching without success for the lyrics, but I found a taster of the song on www.zavvi.co.uk. I'm now bidding on ebay for Larry Cunninham's CD "40 Shades of Green" which has "90 years old" on it. Thanks again! Love the photo- is it a Russian blue cat.

Thanks for this Legoddard, but I didn't know the song name. I wondered if anyone knew this.  I now have the words (from another question/answer website) and have listened to a panto version on YouTube.  I've also researched more on the net as I don't remember it being sung to "Side by Side", and found more variations on the words.

We got married on Friday,
Everyone said it was my day,
Then they bu**ered off home
And left us alone,   Side by side.

We got ready for bed then,
Oh, I nearly dropped dead, when
Her teeth and her hair
She threw on the chair,   Side by side



Or a version with a bridge:

I got married last Friday,
The vicar said it was my day,
When the crowds had gone,
We settled right down
Side by side.

We got ready for bed then,
I got the shock of my life when
Her teeth and her hair
She placed on the chair,
Side by side.

(bridge)
I stood in frank amazement,
When a glass eye so small,
Her arms, her legs, her bosom
She placed on a chair by the wall.

Well, I was brokenhearted,
'Cause most of my wife had departed,
So I slept on the chair,
'Cause there was more of her there,
Side by side.


(bridge)
  Well I nearly fainted
  When her glass eye she let fall,
  First an arm, and then a leg,
  She leaned against the wall.

I was near broken hearted,
From most of me wife I'd been parted,
So I slept on the chair,
There was more of her there,   Side by side

These lyrics, perhaps not surprisingly, are very similar but different than the song my dad sang. I'm getting him to write it down.
