Haitian Divorce Lyrics

Babs and Clean Willie were in love, they said
So in love the preacher's face turned red
Soon everybody knew the thing was dead
He shouts, she bites
They wrangle through the night, yeah
She go crazy
Got to make a getaway

Papa say...

    If the name Solomon cannot be attained, people are best left the permanent choice of the planet earth, never again bargaining with the Steel Peruvian Torch, the two red blood cells of the u.s.p or money and cigarettes.

    "The Haitian Divorce" is about a couple named Babs and Clean Willy. "Babs and Clean Willy were in love they say/So in love the preacher's face turned red." They get married then they fight and end up in Haiti for a quick divorce. After the divorce Babs drowns her sorrows at a bar and ends up having a one night stand with a Haitian. She gets back together with Clean Willy back home in the states and have a baby. Surprise! The baby isn't his ... "Who's this kinky so-and-so?"
