  • Eddie's first wife was a vision
    The bride on the wedding cake
    Thought he was the luckiest man alive
    That was his first mistake

    He'd found him the perfect woman
    That's what he thought he had
    Found him a girl just like the girl
    Who married dear old dad

    Where have you gone, Betty Crocker?
    Come back, Brigitte Bardot, Eddie was in for a shocker
    How was he supposed to know
    About the secret life of Eddie's first wife?

    Eddie came home one evening
    She met him at the door with a drink
    Said I got something to tell you, baby
    But you better sit down I think

    She said I found me somebody
    Someone who rocks my world
    I'm in love and I don't care who knows it
    And she's a good old fashioned girl

    Where have you gone, Betty Crocker?
    Come back, Brigitte Bardot, Eddie was in for a shocker
    How was he supposed to know
    About the secret life of Eddie's first wife?

    She might look like the Venus de Milo
    She might be the marryin' kind
    But you can't judge a book by the cover
    You got to read between the lines

    Where have you gone, Betty Crocker?
    Come back, Brigitte Bardot, Eddie was in for a shocker
    How was he supposed to know
    About the secret life of Eddie's first wife?
