lyrics

Well Christ pulled into Bethany
To visit Martha and Mary
They said, “My friend, our brother’s dead
And in the ground he’s buried
In the ground he’s buried”
So Jesus raised the dead man
And all the town was merry
Except the woman to whom which
Lazurus was married
Lazurus was married

And she said, “It’s alright now
But in a little
I’ll be once a wife
And twice a widow”

Ulysses was the captain
Who beat the Trojan army
And he said to the gods as he lit his cigar,
“You can’t do it without me
You can’t do it without me”
So for twenty years he was doomed to ramble
And his wife thought he had perished
‘Til a beggar showed up holding a paper cup
And begged for her forgiveness
He begged for her forgiveness

And she said, “It’s alright now
But in a little
I’ll be once a wife
And twice a widow”

Gonna go down to the drugstore
And find myself a lady
I’m always looking for a-someone
Who’d be better off without me
Better off without me
Then I’ll fake my death and vanish
And maybe then I’ll sell some albums
And my wife’ll do the work and I’ll come back to her
Once she has made my millions
She has made my millions

And she’ll say “It’s alright now
But in a little
I’ll be once a wife
And twice a widow”
