[Verse 1]
The slam of the gavel Aset me free
Bshe's got all she ever Eneeded
All I asked the judge to gAive to me
was tBied up down in the maErina
C#mtwenty-seven fBeet, white sails and pAolished fiberglEass
I cC#mhristened her IBsland Time aAnd set sail for paradBise
[Chorus]
She's got the hAouse Bon the Elake,
Aher own lBive-in Emaid
ESwimming Apool and the Enew CorvC#mette,
Asavings account and Balimony checks
But I've got the Aocean Bnear St. EBarth's
