All I Want Is a Fighting Chance
Wait a minute
Ain't that Mrs. Jodie over there?
Mrs. Jodie! (Yes?)
You know, I'm like an old relative of yours
I know you don't know me but
Since I been going with your husband for the last past year and a half
(What with my husband?)
That would sorta, like, make us wives in-law
You know what I mean?
(Make us wives in-laws?)
(Are you crazy? What's wrong with you?)
(What the hell are you talking about?!)
All I want is a fighting chance
The rules of the game: To be fair
Since all is fair in love and war
It's war I do declare
Call out your army, alert your navy
Bring out your reserves and marines
'Cause I've alerted your man
He's well-informed
He's been attacked by my love machine
'Cause all I want is a fighting chance
A fight it is going to be
Give me an inch, I'll take a mile
'Cause you're dealing with TNT
Get some TNT, I'm a bomb
Your man has set off my time
I'm gonna blow up his mind
And burst all his heart
And fill it with this love of mine
'Cause all I want is a fighting chance
The war is already won
All I need is a fighting chance
'Cause I'm the daughter of a son-of-a-gun
All I want is a fighting chance
A fight it is going to be
Come on here, turn him over to me
Give that man to me, yeah, yeah
Give him over to me (Wow!)
Ain't that Mrs. Jodie over there?
