I remember this from the late seventies - done by an Australian. Reference to wet ex was a kitchen cloth Wettex.....
Who wrote this? Anybody know?

Mick Hamilton and Allan Caswell. Originally recorded this song under the name "Sanity Clause". There is a version by the Dimmer Twins, starring Mick Hamilton, available. Not quite as good as the original, but not bad, either.

I ah, had a big night last night
Drinking Molson Ex
And on the way home
I had two wrecks
I woke up this morning
Took two Sominex
And that wife of mine
She's now my ex.
Well I got myself evicted
From my duplex
Moved into a half ton van
With an annex
Fridge full of beer
With my old dog Rex
But at least I'm done with the wife
She's now my ex
Merry Xmas to me
My dog threw up all over the Xmas tree
They repossessed my colour TV
Merry bloody Xmas to me
My car's off the road
For having defects
I said to myself, "Geesh what next"
My wife dropped in
For "Alimony Checks"
So I threw her in the lake
Now she's my, wet ex
Merry Xmas to me
My dog threw up all over the Xmas tree
They repossessed my colour TV
Merry bloody Xmas to me
So I sat there drinking
All my Molson Ex
Chucking all my empties
My ole' dog Rex
Stupid bloody mutt
Stuck his head in the Moulinex
You guessed it
He's now my ex-Rex
Merry Xmas to me
My dog threw up all over the Xmas tree
They repossessed my colour TV
Merry bloody Xmas to me
Merry Xmas to me
My dog threw up all over the Xmas tree
They repossessed my colour TV
Merry bloody Xmas to me
Merry Xmas to me
My dog threw up all over the Xmas tree
They repossessed my colour TV
Merry bloody Xmas to me
