Žodžiai dainai: Shel Silverstein. Alimoney (Also Recorded As "Alimony").

Alimoney, alimoney

I work till my fingers are bloody and boney

Me, oh my, oh, goodness sake,

I'm payin' for my mistake



She calls it alimoney, alimoney

Yeah, you single men may think it's funny

Till one of these days, you're gonna wait

And find you're payin' for your mistake



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



Alimoney, alimoney

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



Alimoney, alimoney

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, 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 ...
