"Alimony" lyrics

Alimony

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 using 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

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
