Lyrics:

Now the bible tells the story about Adam's rib.

How the Lord made a woman for companionship.

Hell the first thing she did,

Was take a bite of that forbidden fruit.

Well, 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 ain't right.

And I'm workin' tryin' to please that woman day and night.

She's never satisfied although I try to do the best that I can.

This has gotta change or honey I'm gonna leave.

I won't let evolution gonna make a monkey out of me,

Oh Lord, I think I want my rib back.



There's been a hole in 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 her three times a night.

Her cousin's on my sofa, her sister's got my car,

Her brothers drink my liquor like my house was a bar,

Oh Lord, well, I think I want my rib back.



Now this is wrong and, baby, that ain't right.

And I'm workin' tryin' to please that woman day and night.

She's never satisfied although I try to do the best that I can.

This has gotta change or honey I'm gonna leave.

I won't let evolution gonna make a monkey out of me,

Oh Lord, I think I want my rib back.



Oh Lord, I think I want my rib back.
