He indulged in fancy spending Ordered rings, cars, and furs But alas! The lack like a stab in the back?)

He got mixed up with a Flow So, Flow shoved him in the river He might get mixed up no more His wife then draped herself in black That showed her figure fine Then she cussed him out That two faced guy No insurance could she find And her tears flowed like wine Yes, her tears flowed like wine She's a real sad tomato She's a busted valentine Knows her momma done told her That the man is darn unkind
