I knew what I wanted to do
 She said that she loved me
 And her love would always be true
 But there was something about her smile
 When I walked her down the aisle
 And gave her
 One golden ring
 To make her happy

 It worked for a year
 Then the magic began to fade
 Then she left with another
 But I hate to see her poor heart break
 She's gone and made the same mistake
 She's got
 Two golden rings
 Around her finger

 Hanging around
 Hanging round the house all day
 Hanging round the house all day

 You do the washing
 You do the ironing
 You do the cleaning
 You do your brains in
 All the live long day

 The last time I saw her
 Her eyes were empty and cold
 The magic had gone
 And the years had tarnished the gold
 She'd sold the house
 And the rings as well
 But the only one
 She could never sell
 Was my golden ring
 Because my golden ring
 Had made her happy
