Alimony lyrics

Alimony alimony I work till my fingers are bloody and boney

Me oh my oh goodness sake I`m paying for my mistake

She calls it alimony alimony yeah you single men may think it`s funny

Till one of these days you`re gonna wake and find you`re payin` for your mistake



Pom pom 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

[ harmonica ]

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<BR>

(Yeah aw come on baby y`know it`s your mistake too yeah

They took all the furniture and everything come on

Why maybe we could sorta pitch in and work it out y`know

I mean I could get a third job if that`s what you want I mean

What about sellin` my blood y`know)
