Widow Jones couldn't make it on her own
Frank was 'lectrified, leaving six kids half grown
In her misery, she sent for me, the Singer of Sad Songs
And I sympathized and eulogized Frank Jones
CHORUS ONE:
And she cried, "Singer of Sad Songs,
I need your services today!
Doctor of broken hearts,
Wash your clothes and mend your socks for your pay."
VERSE TWO (Key changes to "G"):
Farmer Brown had always dreamed of city lights
Miniskirts on pretty girls were in his sights
So, one early morn, he left his corn to harvest a field of sin
Mrs. Brown called me shortly after 3 AM
CHORUS TWO:
And she cried, "Singer of Sad Songs,
I need your services today!
Doctor of broken hearts,
Got some early hybrid corn for your pay."
VERSE THREE (KEY CHANGES TO "A"):
Lovely Lucy sat there, sipping a glass of wine
She was at the church, waitin' till after nine
But the groom to be was somewhere free with a case of yellow spine
Lovely Lucy, she's still a virgin at surprise
CHORUS THREE:
And she cried, "Singer of Sad Songs,
I need your services today!
Doctor of broken hearts,
Got a slightly used diamond for your pay..."
