I Want My Rib Back

Now the Bible tells a story about Adam's rib

How the Lord made a woman for companionship

The first thing she did was take a bite of that forbidden fruit

I guess we'll be paying'til the end of time

At least that's how it is with that woman of mine

Oh, Lord, I think I want my rib back

Now this is wrong baby, that ain't right

I'm working, trying to please that woman day and night

She's never satisfied, although I try to do the best that I can

This has got to change, now honey, I'm going to leave

I won't let evolution make a monkey out of me

Oh, lord

I think I want my red band

There been a hole in my wallet and a pain in my side

Ever since I made that girl my blushing bride

Her daddy calls her angel, and her mama calls us three times a night

Her cousin's on my sofa, her sister's got my car

Her brothers drink my liquor like my house was a bar

Oh, Lord, I think I want my red bag

Now this is wrong, and baby, that ain't right

I'm working, trying to please that woman day and night

She's never satisfied, although I try to do the best that I can

This has gotta change, or honey, I'm gonna leave

I won't let evolution make a monkey out of me

Oh, lord, I think I want my rib band

Oh, lord, I think I want my rib back
