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
