Friday talked to the wife on the phone Said I'm not allowed near the home If I climb the fence like last time she'll call the dame law Her whining is so annoying When she can't be trusted with the children I remember the lawyer with his grinning skull My half of the settlement will be invested to return a mint Go toward hiring an agent who will be paid not to pry Once I'm armed with this new hauteur I'll still be just the agent's tool Sometimes you gotta sell out if you plan to buy The settlement's all divided now Got myself an apartment downtown Tell you not to make plans We'll go out this Friday night Don't think about that recidivist wife Or that lawyer acting so contrite I try to relax every Friday Put it out of my mind Friday night is sacred It's not time to be wasted With doom on call Friday they can't use it
