Someone asked for this a while ago. My apologies to whoever it was It took some time to find again and in the meantime an old man's memory fades!

Record Divorce
He gets the Beefheart, she gets the Stones
They're willing to fight through every court in the land
For the Hearts and Bones
They split the Motown
And she sheds a tear, All the Way Down
And he sings that Same Old Song
You think you're walking out that door with Louden Wainwright
You're wrong, baby you're wrong

She gets the Beach Boys, A Little Sun
He finds this hard to take with Her Daddy's Car and a Fun, Fun, Fun
He gets the Lou Reed, the Brenda Lee and the Almost Blue Oh So Blue
She said I always meant to tell you how much I hate the way you breathe
He takes a deep breath and he seethes
An articulate Beat of the Heart
And he sings the Same Old Song
You think you're walking out that door with Aretha Franklin
You're wrong, baby you're wrong

She gets the Mozart, he's made a list (?Lizt)
He fights his corner for the ones he wants and the one she's missed
She gets a Nielsen, he doesn't mind,
it's scratched and he smiles because he knows
It goes right through her favourite song
She say's you can take the Striesand, I don't like her any way
We are as alike as Gladys Knight and Doris Day.
Gladys Knight and Doris Day

He gets the Beefheart, she gets the Stones
They're willing to fight through every court in the land
For the Hearts and Bones
They split the Motown and she sheds a tear
All the way down
and he sings that Same Old Song
You think you're walking out that door with Elvis Presley
You're wrong, baby you're wrong
You've always been wrong,

(dum, dum, dum, dummy, doo wah)

(Dearest Darlin')

Regards Baz
