 They got drunk  last night
 Had a knockdown, drag-out fight
She  was determined and he  saw it his way
He  threw a tantrum and she  threw an ashtray
 They got drunk  last night
 How's this for a "How do you do?"
 He's unfaithful, she's untrue
 They're their own masters and they're their own bosses
 They reserve the right to employ double crosses
 How's this for a fine "How do you do?"
 You'd need a chair and a whip
 To control their relationship
 Once they were lovers and practically best friends
 Now he's into bondage and she's into revenge
 You would need a chair and a whip
 And if one of them should die
 I suppose that the other would cry
 There would be tears of sorrow and great grief
 Or else there would be tears of release and relief
 If one of them should die
