Alimony:Frankie Ford.
#97 on BB Hot 100 on AC Records in 1959.
INTRO:
#1.
The monkey was arrested for the nonsupport..
he sent for his attorney Mister Billy Goat.
He said, Billy, oh, Billy, go and wash your face.
I want you looking good when you plead my case.
CHORUS:
She want him under alimony..she want him under alimony.
Don t set no bail..give him thirty days in jail.
She want him under alimony.
#2.
The monkey walked in court, looking at the judge.
He rolled his eyes just like he had a grudge.
Man, I say it was an awful shame..when Miss Monkey
took the stand.
CHORUS:
She want him under alimony..she want him under alimony.
Don t set no bail..give him SIXTY days in jail.
She want him under alimony.
#3.
She looked at the jury right dead in the eye..
even the judge began to cry.
Around her head she had tied a rag of silk..
she said my daughter needs shoes and my baby needs milk.
CHORUS:
She want him under alimony..she want him under alimony.
Don t set no bail..give him NINETY days in jail.
She want him under alimony.
#4.
Billy jumped up and began to shout..man, let me tell you
what it s all about.
You could fix this man and it s plain to see..
you ve got to serve your time and you can t get free.
CHORUS:
She want him under alimony..she want him under alimony.
Don t set no bail..give him LIFE TIME in jail.
She want him under alimony.
OUTRO:
She want him under alimony..yeah, yeah.
She want him under alimony..oh, oh.
She want him under alimony..hey, hey.
She want him under alimony..oh, oh..(Fade.)
A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
