Dear Abby, Dear Abby, my fountain pen leaks 
My wife hollers at me and my kids are all freaks 
Every side I get up on is the wrong side of bed 
If it weren't so expensive I'd wish I were dead

Dear Abby, Dear Abby, you won't believe this 
But my stomache makes noises whenever I kiss 
My girlfriend tells me it's all in my head 
But my stomache tells me to write you instead

Dear Abby, Dear Abby, well I never thought 
That me and my girlfriend would ever get caught 
We were sittin' in the back seat just shootin' the breeze 
With her hair up in curlers and her pants to her knees
