There is a rumor going ‘round 

That Desdemona’s Leaving Town 

She got stuck in the Sailor’s Knot 

And it dragged her around 

But now she’s upright, out of our sight 

Everyday another stray’ll find its way out of the pound: 



Desdemona went to settle the bill of her former life 

Desdemona went over the hill to be another man’s wife 

She’s gonna get to see the stars upon a platter 

Gonna bet she’ll meet the man of her dreams 

She’s such a go-getter 

And we won’t ever forget her no! 



They put a siren in the rain 

That took our Desdemona home again 

This time she looked different and it wasn’t just the shackles and chains 

Right in the spot heart used to be 

The laundry's going round and round and round again 



Desdemona went to settle to bill of her former life 

Desdemona went over the hill to be another man’s wife 

And now she’ll find her road is lined with silver arrows 

And they’ll guide her to the end of her dream 

You’re gone for good babe 

But you’ll live forever on the front page 



Desdemona's gonna make me cry.... 

I'm gonna take my hat off 



Hey Boys 

Desdemona's Leaving! 

Hey Boys 

Desdemona's Leaving! 

Desdemona's Leaving Town - 

No more fights 

Or staying up all night
