[Chorus]
Alimony, alimony, work 'til my fingers are bloody and boney
Me oh my oh goodness sake, I'm paying for my mistake

[Verse 1]
Ali-money I call it ali-money, you married men may think it funny
'Til one fine day you'll wake and find you're paying for your mistake

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Alimony, alimony, thought I bought steak and it was all baloney
Me oh my oh goodness sake, I'm paying for my mistake

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Alimony, alimony, I thought I bought steak and it was all baloney
Me oh my oh goodness sake, I'm paying for my mistake
Every payday, paying for my mistake, yes, I am friends
