Haitian Divorce by Donald Fagen and Walter Becker
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 She go crazy. Got to make a getaway
Papa say "Oooh, No hesitastion No tears and no hearts breaking, no remorse" Oooh,Congratulations This is your Haitian Divorce
She takes the taxi to a good hotel Bon marche' as far as she can tell She drinks the zombi from the cocoa shell She feels alright She get it on tonight "Mister driver, take me where the music play."
Papa say "Oooh, No hesitastion No tears and no hearts breaking, no remorse" Oooh,Congratulations This is your Haitian Divorce
At the Grotto in a greasy chair sits the Charlie with the lotion and the kinky hair When she smiled she said it all The band was hot so they danced the famous Merengue Now we dolly back Now we fade to black
Tearful reunion in the USA Day by day those memories fade away Some babies grow in a peculiar way It changed, it grew And everybody knew Semi-mojo. "Who's this kinky so and so?"
Papa go "Oooh, No hesitastion No tears and no hearts breaking, no remorse" Oooh,Congratulations This is your Haitian Divorce
