"I think this tune is a lot better than the words, which are lousy. But you can't be good all the time, can you"

Why did it all begin
Why did I get in this mess I'm in
I guess I'm in the stew,
Cos you're awful snoot
With me my beauty
And I'm awful tired of you.

Look what is on my plate
Why must I suffer this dreadful fate
Oh, what a state I'm in
Lumbered with you dear
My whole life through dear
Oh why did it all beigin

We'd done a little drinking
And the pair of us were stinking,
And our first embrace was underneath the table
It was really rather thrilling
You were ready you were willing
And I very soon discovered you were able

But now that I'm on the spot
Suppose I deserve everything I got
This sodded clot was I
But I'll bet a nicker
I'm through with liquor
From now till the day I die

Why did I have to fall
Guess I intended to have a ball
But now it's all in vain
oh what a night
Had a ball alright
Yes got me a ball and chain

You'll find your not so choosy
When you get a little woozy
And on top that the lights were pretty shaded
It was not until the morning
That I found my Lida rose was rather faded. 

Then without any doubt
You pulled a fast one and caught me out
You poured me out a gin
And I had to sign on the dotted line
Oh why did it all begin

Tell me why did it all begin
