PARODY
[C F C] Well, we got married last Friday [C F C] My new wife stood beside me
[F A7 ] When the guests had gone home β [D7] Side [G7] by [C] side
[C F C] We were glad we were wed then [C F C] We got ready for bed then

ALTERNATE PARODY
When I asked her to marry, she said I was all hairy
Toothbrush and a comb she took to my home – Side by side
After Iβd taken my shower, scrubbing for nearly an hour
It went down the drain, my hair and my brain – Side by side
When I was much younger.Β I had most of my hair
Now my scalp is shiny.Β Nothing more is left up there
I called her on the tele, to say that Iβm not quite so smelly
But she was not home, so again I’m alone – NOT Side by Side
