{ CHORUS }
G A7       D
Ilene good night Ilene
         G
Ilene my sweet
                      C
Be sure and trim your toe nails
   D                G
Or you will rip the sheets
 
 
[Verse]
  G           A7            D
Last Saturday night I got married
                         G
For better or worse I suppose
                               C
When I slipped the ring on her finger
    D                      G
She slipped one through my nose

 
 
{ CHORUS }
G A7       D
Ilene good night Ilene
           G
Ilene good night
                   C
Ilene good night, Ilene sleep tight
      D                G
Don't let the bed bugs bite
 
 
[Instrumental]
G    A7   D    D    G
G    C    D    D    G
 
 
[Verse]
G                   A7          D
She blacked my left eye this morning
                       G
She broke my nose last night
                              C
I'd better leave her while I'm able
      D                      G
Cause I'd rather switch than fight
 
 
{ CHORUS }
G A7       D
Ilene good night Ilene
           G
Ilene good night
                    C
She always drinks a six pack
    D                    G
And that makes her sleep tight
 
 
[Verse]
G           A7        D
I feel like a million dollars
                      G
Never felt this way before
                             C
I lost two hundred pounds of ugly fat
     D              G
When she walked the door
 
 
{ CHORUS }
G    A7     D
Ilene Good night Ilene
            G
Ilene Good night
                   C
And if I have a nightmare
      D                G   G
I'll see you in my dreams
