I came home last as drunk as I could be
and saw a horse a standing where my horse ort to be.
I said, "Dear wifey, dear wifey come explain this thing to me."
She said, "You fool, you fool, you great big fool, can't you never see
that's just a milk cow your mother gave to me."
I been around this great big world a hundred times or more
but a saddle on a milk cow, I've never seen before.
I went into the house as hungry as I could be
and saw a coat a hanging where my coat ort to be.
I said, "Dear wifey, dear wifey come explain this thing to me."
She said, "You fool, you fool, you great big fool, can't you never see
that's just a bed quilt your mother gave to me."
I been around this great big world a hundred times or more
but pockets on a bed quilt, I've never seen before.
I went to the bedroom as tired as I could be
and saw a head a laying where my head ort to be.
I said, "Dear wifey, dear wifey come explain this thing to me."
She said, "You fool, you fool, you great big fool, can't you never see
that's just a cabbagehead your mother gave to me."
I been around this great big world a hundred times or more
but a mustache on a cabbagehead, I've never seen before.
It has been sung by a number of people including Dr. John
