[Intro]
People are you ready?
People are you ready? (Are you ready?)
People are you ready?
For the show time
The show time that's in your town
(One more time)
People are you ready?
People are you ready? (Are you ready?)
People are you ready?
For the show time
The show time that's in your town
Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 1]
Ah look at this one, look at that one
Tell me do they look like me?
All my friends said, don't you worry
Said they'll testify for me
Well, I wonder which of my friends had it in for me
[Verse 2]
Alimony, alimony, alimony, alimony
Alimony, killing me
I don't want six extra children
Ain't but two that look like me
Please have mercy, judge your honor
Alimony's killing me
[Verse 3]
Alimony, alimony, alimony, alimony, alimony
Please
Please, have mercy, judge your honor
Alimony is killing me
[Verse 4]
Alimony, alimony
Please, have mercy (Alimony)
Judge your honor (Alimony)
I'm as poor as I can be
Ain't had money in my pockets
Since way back in fifty-three
Can't you cut down all my payments?
Alimony is killing me
[Outro]
Alimony, alimony, alimony is killing me
Alimony, alimony, alimony is killing me
Alimony, alimony, alimony is killing me
Alimony, alimony, alimony is killing me
