Lyrics
Chorus
It makes you tell your wife
You’ll be a “boob” for life
And that you’ll hand her all your pay
Then she buys silken hose
And lots of fancy clothes
To make a big grandstand display
And while she looks so cute
You have to wear a suit
That hangs upon you like a bag
Then if you say you want to be the boss
She gets an absolute divorce
And you, just like a phony pay her alimony
That’s the Matrimony Rag
Performance
