When you were with me you cooked massaman gai
And we shared the delight of everything Thai
But now you're with him you've reached a new high
As you cook fish and chips for your fish and chips guy

When you were with me we prayed at the Wat
Giving thanks to the Buddha for what we had got
But now you're with him things have changed quite a lot
As you carry him home, your own drunken sot

When you were with me we had money to spare
Though we were not rich we gave beggars their share
But now you're with him I bid you take care
Lest the dream that he sold you turns to nightmare

When you were with me I'd frequently gaze
On your beauty which never ceased to amaze
So I beg you, with him do not end your days
In a bewildered, befuddled alco-holic haze

This story's a sad one which still makes me sigh
All the truth in the world can be wrecked with a lie
So is this where it ends? Where our love has to die?
As you cook fish and chips for your fish and chips guy
