BOBBITT - Tom Paxton

Oh, my wife's name is Lorena,
And you really should 'a' seen her,
She is beautiful, is what I always said.
My name is John Wayne Bobbitt
I work hard at my job, it
Was my right to have a little fun in bed.

Well, she wasn't in the mood then,
And I must've gotten rude then,
And I guess I got a little out of line.
I was finished, I was sleeping,
When Lorena came in creeping,
And she took something important that was mine.

Yes, my angry little wifey
Took her little kitchen knifey,
She did a little homemade surgery.
She took the knife I bought her,
She made me a little shorter,
And she took off with the very best of me.

She jumped into her Toyota,
She took off with my promoter,
And she knew how much I missed her when she'd gone.
Then Lorena told a coppy
Where she'd flung my little floppy,
And a very kindly doctor sewed it on.

I got back my little buddy
It's my little understudy,
And it's going to work, according to reports.
But it cowers and it cringes,
And it's tender 'round the hinges,
So I guess I'd better keep it in my shorts.
