Lyrics

ALIMONY MONY

Verse1
My wife kept her maiden name.
She was liberated – so she claimed.
Well Ms. Liberated said goodbye –
When she caught me with another guy!

Chorus1
Alimony mony, alimony mony.
Alimony mony, alimony, mony.
Alimony mony.
Take it from me!

Verse2
I went overseas to join the fight.
I wrote her love letters every night.
The postman gave ‘em to her every day.
Now they’re livin’ on half my pay!

Chorus2
Alimony mony, alimony mony.
Alimony mony, alimony, mony.
Alimony mony.
Take it from me!

Verse3
(Name) was my best friend.
He was visiting one weekend.
What a part, man!, what a bash!
Now they’re living on my hard earned cash!

Chorus3
Alimony mony, alimony mony.
Alimony mony, alimony, mony.
Alimony mony.
Take it from me!

Verse4
I’ve been searching all of my life.
To find a girl I could call my wife.
I’d love her, she’d hurt me, I’d be alone.
She’d take my money and then steal my home!

Chorus4
Alimony mony, alimony mony.
Alimony mony, alimony, mony.
Alimony mony.
Take it from me!

Verse5
All my life I’ve been busted.
Women, who needs ‘em, they can’t be trusted.
They’ll hook ya; they’ll leave ya; they’ll steal your gold.
They’ll take all your possessions and leave you in the cold.
Her birthday present was a washing machine.
But she had trouble keeping my clothes clean.
She called the loneliest man in town.
Now I pay that guy to lie around!

Chorus5
Alimony mony, alimony mony.
Alimony mony, alimony, mony.
Alimony mony.
Take it from me!
