The Lyrics
This guy ain’t well-to-do;
He seems a swine
Who married her just for her loot,
And he’s lyin’
Oftentimes lyin’.
At last she can’t stand it,
His runnin’ around—
Just tryin’ to scam it,
And she’s starting to have a breakdown.
She thinks the fella’s true
Motives malign,
Not fine.
First seduced,
Then reduced
To tear-sluiced
She’s deduced he’s a lout
’cause they are there
In a car, speeding,
Then she’s pushed out—
Seemingly.
Turns out he’s swell; to-do
Was out of line.
He seems a swine
Who married her just for her loot,
And he’s lyin’
Oftentimes lyin’.
At last she can’t stand it,
His runnin’ around—
Just tryin’ to scam it,
And she’s starting to have a breakdown.
She thinks the fella’s true
Motives malign,
Not fine.
First seduced,
Then reduced
To tear-sluiced
She’s deduced he’s a lout
’cause they are there
In a car, speeding,
Then she’s pushed out—
Seemingly.
Turns out he’s swell; to-do
Was out of line.
