Alimony, alimony
Work 'til my fingers are bloody and bony
Me oh my, oh goodness sake
I'm payin' for my mistake
She calls it alimony, alimony
Yeah, you single men may think it's funny
'Til one of these days, you're gonna wake
And find you're payin' for your mistake, boom boom
I walk around ragged like a low-down bum
I can't afford to weigh myself or buy a stick of gum
It's the same old story with a little more blues in it
I'm payin' for it while someone else is usin' it
Alimony, alimony
I thought I bought steak and it was all baloney
My heart and back are both about to break
From payin' for my mistake, yeah
Yeah, I walk around ragged like a low-down bum
I can't afford to weigh myself or buy a stick of gum
Why, it's the same old story with a little more blues in it
I'm payin' for it while someone else is usin' it
Alimony, alimony
Thought I bought steak and it was just baloney
And every penny that I make
Goes to payin' for my mistake, oh yeah
Payin' for my mistake every Wednesday
Yeah, oh come on, babe, you know it's your mistake too, yeah
They took all the furniture and everything, come on
Maybe we could sort of pitch in and work it out, you know, uh
I mean, I could get a third job if that's what you want
What about sellin' my blood?
