Verse 1
Some of them were short, and some of them were tall,
I slept with a few of them, tried with them all,
Some were sweet and kind, and some paid me no mind
Cuz some of them had no mind at all.
Chorus
But in the end, it was you my friend
Who brought that true, true love into my life,
And to prove it, I'll go sleep with another,
But I'm still gonna dream about my wife.,
Verse 2
Some of them were small - I should say "petite",
All and all they all was awful sweet.
Some were sweet and gentle, others they were mental-
ly inclined, the kind that never leave their feet.
Chorus
But in the end, it was you my friend
Who brought that true, true love into my life,
And to prove it, I'll go sleep with a couple more,,
But I'm still gonna dream about my wife., E7
Bridge
All those other girls, just brought me trouble and tears,
How did I make it through those awful, awful years
I was searching for perfection, but I'd only find pain,
I found a brain without a body - or a body without a brain
It was awful.
Verse 3. Now some I don't remember, others I still recall,
I'm only human, after all.
Just cuz they're left behind, it don't mean they've left my mind,
Cuz I mean my, we did it all.
Chorus
And in the end, it was you my friend
Who brought that true, true love into my life,
And to prove it, I might go sleep with a fella,
But I'm still gonna dream about my wife,
might even go to a nudist colony with Bud Collier,
But I'm still gonna dream about my wife,
Allen Ludden, Arlene Francis, Bring 'em all on I'm not proud,
cuz I'm still gonna dream about my wife,
Still gonna dream about my wife.
