Alimony

The monkey was arrested for the nonsupport

He sent for his attorney Mister Billy Goat

He said Billy oh Billy go and wash your face

I want you looking good when you plead my case



She want him under alimony

She want him under alimony

Don't set no bail

Give him thirty days in jail

She want him under alimony



The monkey walked in court looking at the judge

He rolled his eyes just like he had a grudge

Man I say it was an awful shame

When Miss Monkey took the stand



She want him under alimony

She want him under alimony

Don't set no bail

Give him sixty days in jail

She want him under alimony



She looked at the jury right dead in the eye

Even the judge began to cry

Around her head she had tied a rag of silk

She said my daughter needs shoes and my baby needs milk



She want him under alimony

She want him under alimony

Don't set no bail

Give him ninety days in jail

She want him under alimony



Billy jumped up and began to shout

Man let me tell you what it's all about

You could fix this man and it's plain to see

You've got to save your time and you can't get free



She want him under alimony

She want him under alimony

Don't set no bail

Give him lifetime in jail

She want him under alimony



She want him under alimony

Yeah yeah

She want him under alimony

Oh oh

She want him under alimony

Hey hey

She want him under alimony
