Who always cooked my steaks and cooked 'em rare (Ruth)
When the chips were down who was always there (Reliable Ruth)
And to whom did I swear up and down I'd always tell the truth
E-del-o-da-la-de who in the world but Ruth

But now I'm as Ruthless as can be
Ruthless since Ruth walked out to me
Now I had hopes that someday old Ruth would be my wife
But it looks like I'll be Ruthless all my life

[ whistle ]

Who always made my world so bright and cheery (ol' Ruth)
Who always rubbed my back when I was weary (sweet Ruth)
Who used to call me every day from a telephone booth
E-del-o-da-la-de who in the world but Ruth

But now I'm as Ruthless as can be
Ruthless since Ruth walked out to me
I used to think that me and Ruth would share a happy home
But it looks like I'll be Ruthless from now on

[ whistle ]
