Steely Dan - Haitian Divorce
Babs and Clean Willie were in love they said
So in love the preacher's face turned red
Soon everybody knew the thing was dead
He shouts, she bites, they wrangle through the night
She go crazy
Got to make a getaway
Papa say
CHORUS:
Oh - no hesitation
No tears and no hearts breakin'
No remorse
Oh - congratulations
This is your Haitian Divorce
She takes the taxi to the good hotel
Bon marché as far as she can tell
She drinks the zombie from the cocoa shell
She feels alright, she get it on tonight
Mister driver
Take me where the music play
Papa say
CHORUS
At the Grotto
In the greasy chair
Sits the Charlie with the lotion and the kinky hair
When she smiled, she said it all
The band was hot so
They danced the famous Merengue
Now we dolly back
Now we fade to black
Tearful reunion in the USA
Day by day those memories fade away
Some babies grow in a peculiar way
It changed, it grew, and everybody knew
Semi-mojo
Who's this kinky so-and-so?
Papa go
CHORUS

@TheTabulater I agree..I see a lot of 'Greatest Hits' compilations with some of the greatest hits missing...for example my 'Best of Madness' hasn't got 'Wings Of A Dove' which got to number 2 in the UK

I remember standing duty in my Company office when I was a Marine from Midnight to 0800 hours and I was jammin this song on the 8 track all night to stay awake back in 1980. Even the OD was getting into the jam. lol Wow! Have the years gone bye so fast.
