I believe that over the many series of In Sickness and In Health, the theme tune, sang by the legendery Chas and Dave, the lyrics changed. I have seen the first two series, so the only theme tunes I know are:

When we got married I took the Marriage Vow
In Sickness and in Health I said I do
For Richer For Poorer Till Death us do Paer
And you said that you'd honour and obey me too
But It wasn't very long before I soon found out
The one that wore the trousers was you
Now after all these years I'm finally pushing you about
In Sickness and in Health I love you
In Sickness and in Health I said I do

And also this one:
Now my old darling they've laid her down to rest
And now I'm missing her with all my heart
But they don't give a monkeys down the DHSS
And they've cornered off my pension for a start
I suppose it won't be very long before I'm by her side
I'll Probably starve to death that's what I'll do
For Richer or Poorer, bloody poorer that's a fact
In Sickness and In health I said I do
In Sickness and in Health I said I do.

I know there was at least one more, if not more in the later series, does anyone know them. If so, could you write out the lyrics, I would be most grateful.

Thanks for the link, but I can't get on the website. Please would someone go on it, copy and paste it and put it on the site, I would be most grateful.

When we got married
I took the marriage vow
In sickness and in health
I said I do

For richer, for poorer
'Till death us do part
And you said that you'd
Honour an obey me too

But it wasn't very long
Before I soon found out
The one who wore the
Trousers was you

But after all these years
At last I'm pushing you about
But in sick ness and in health
I said I do

When we was courting
You used to say to me
"My darling I can't wait
Until we're wed

"I'll iron all your trousers
Sow buttons on your shirts
I'll think the world of you"
That's what you said.

But it wasn't very long
Before you changed your tune
Moan all day and night
That's all you do

Me dinner's always burnt
When I come home from up the pub
But in sickness and in health
I said I do

When we got married
I took the marriage vow
In sickness and in health
I said I do

For richer, for poorer
'Till death us do part
And you said that you'd
Honour and obey me too

But it wasn't very long
Before I soon found out
The one who wore the
Trousers was you

Now after all these years
At last I'm pushing you about
But in sickness and in health
I love ya
In sickness and in health
I said I do

That was the theme from at least series 3-6 inclusive.

I believe the correct lyrics for the later version to be "and they've gone and halved my pension" though of course it's sung as "'n' they've gorn 'n' 'alved me pension".

In season 4 he goes to Australia and there is a reworked theme tune referencing it

It was always funny when Alf shouted over the song 'Bloody poorer, that's a fact'
