Album: Hard Times Hungrys [RCA Victor]
(Shel Silverstein)
Alimony, alimony
Work till my fingers are bloody and boney
Me oh my, oh goodness sake
I'm paying for my mistake.
Ali-money, I call it ali-money
You married men may think it's funny
Till one fine day you'll wake and find
You're paying for your mistake.
Every Friday when I get my pay
I put it in an envelope and mail it away
Same old song with A Little More Blues in it
I'm paying for it while someone else's usin' it.
Alimony, alimony
I thought I bought steak and it was all baloney
Me oh my, oh goodness sake
I'm paying for my mistake.
--- Instrumental ---
Alimony, alimony
I thought I bought steak and it was all baloney
Me oh my, oh goodness sake
I'm paying for my mistake.
Every payday paying for my mistake, yes I am friends...
