I Want My Rib Back lyrics

Now the bible tells the story about Adam's rib.

How the Lord made a woman for companionship.

And the first thing she did,

Was take a bite of that forbidden fruit.

Well, I guess we'll be paying till the end of time,

At least that's how it is with that woman of mine.

Oh Lord, I think I want my rib back.

Now this is wrong and, baby, that ain't right.

And I'm working tryin' to please that woman day and night.

She's never satisfied although I try to do the best that I can.

Somethin's got a change honey, I'm gonna leave.

I won't let evolution gonna make a monkey out of me,

Oh Lord, I think I want my rib back.

There's been a hole in wallet and a pain in my side,

Ever since I made that girl my blushing bride.

Her daddy calls her angel,

And her momma calls her three times a night.

Her cousins on my sofa, her sister's got my car,

Her brother's drink my liquor like my house was a bar,

Oh Lord, well, I think I want my rib back.

Now this is wrong and, baby, that ain't right.

And I'm working tryin' to please that woman day and night.

She's never satisfied although I try to do the best that I can.

Somethin's got a change honey, I'm gonna leave.

I won't let evolution gonna make a monkey out of me,

Oh Lord, I think I want my rib back.

Oh Lord, I think I want my rib back.
