Now the Bible tells the story 'bout Adam's rib   How the Lord made a woman for companionship   And the first thing she did was take a bite of that forbidden fruit   Well, I guess we'll be paying till the end of time   At least it is how it is with that woman of mine   Oh Lord, I think I want my rib back      Now this is wrong and baby, that ain't right   And I'm working tryin' to please that woman day and night   She's never satisfied although I try to do the best that I can   That she's gotta change or honey, I'm gonna leave   I won't let evolution gonna make a monkey out of me   Oh Lord, I think I want my rib back      There's been a hole in 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 her three times a night   Her cousin's on my sofa, her sister's got my car   Her brothers drink my liquor like my house was a bar   Oh Lord, well, I think I want my rib back      Well, now this is wrong and baby, that ain't right   And I'm working tryin' to please that woman day and night   She's never satisfied although I try to do the best that I can   That she's gotta change or honey, I'm gonna leave   I won't let evolution gonna make a monkey out of me   Oh Lord, I think I want my rib back      Oh Lord, I think I want my rib back
