Honey Don't Pay the Ransome (Live)

Honey don't pay the ransom, I managed to escape Abdul and Fahad, they botched the job But I tell you it was a hell of a scrape They tied me in a dark room and gagged me with duct tape But honey don't pay the ransom, I managed to escape It started out on a thursday A beer right after work I stopped in at the barnside A bar where divorcees lurk I'd been married for seven years And planned on at least couple more Just wanted to see what was out there In case she finally showed me the door After about an hour A little girl took the next chair She was working as a nanny And lord, what an au pair One drink led to another And we woke up in LA Friday turned to Sunday Then April turned to May We moved in with her sister A liberal in every way She looked like Goldie Hawn At least back in the day We all did yoga and tai chi Ate berries, bark and leafs Ran around neked in the sun Until our skin look like bas-reliefs By the end of the summer The girl had plumb wore me down I jumped on the next flight homeward Had my alibi when we touched down 'Cause I was stripped at the airport By some minimum wage sleuth He didn't find nothing But I found what could pass for the truth Honey don't pay the ransom, I managed to escape Abdul and Fahad, they botched the job But I tell you it was a hell of a scrape They wouldn't let me call you or even make a tape But honey don't pay the ransom, I managed to escape If you ever find yourself In a similar bind Just prey on the forgiving nature Common to all womankind Sit her on your sofa Shed a tear that's genuine Tell her if she don't believe you Then the terrorist win Honey don't pay the ransom, I managed to escape Abdul and Fahad, they botched the job But I tell you it was a hell of a scrape They tied me in a dark room and gagged me with duct tape But honey don't pay the ransom, I managed to escape
