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
