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 usin' 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

[ guitar ]

Alimony alimony...

Every payday paying for my mistake yes I am friends
