Now the Bible tells the story 'bout Adam's rib   How the Lord made a woman for companionship   The first thing she did   Was take a bite of that forbidden fruit   I guess we'll be paying 'till the end of time   At least that's how it is with that woman of mine   Oh Lord, I think I want my rib back      Now this is wrong and baby that aint right   I'm workin' tryin' to please   That woman day and night   She's never satisfied although I try   And do the best that I can   This has gotta change or honey I'm gonna leave   I won't let evolution make a monkey out of me   Oh Lord, I think I want my rib back      There's a hole in my wallet   And a pain in my side   Ever since I made that girl my blushing bride   Her daddy calls her angel   And her momma calls us three times a night   Her cousins on my sofa   Her sister's got my car   Her brothers drink my liquor   Like my house was a bar   Oh Lord, I think I want my rib back
