[Verse 1]
I used to have a lit-tle flat, I lived there all a-lone;
The on-ly talk-ing that I did was on the tel-e-phone.
Of course I had my par-ties just as all good bach-'lors do,
But now that I am mar-ried I am here to say to you.

[Chorus 1]
You would-n't know the old place now,
There's been a change you will al-low
Where with joy the walls would rat-tle,
It is now a field of bat-tle,

Why, you would-n't know the old place now!

[Verse 2]
I had a pic-ture of a girl, A girl I used to know,
But she was just a friend of mine, I told my wif-y so,
Of course I had a love-ly frame to fit her love-ly face,
And nat-ur'-ly I hung it in a ver-y love-ly place.

[Chorus 2]
You would-n't know the old place now,
There's been a change you will al-low,
Wif-ey sim-ply said I hate her!
Chucked it down the dum-my wait-er,

Oh! you would-n't know the old face now!
