'<br>He struggled to sit up as she<br>Hurled insults at his head, <br>And then he realized that <br>Someone else lay in his bed.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">He looked, quite disbelieving<br>At the blond head lying there, <br>That lay upon the pillow, <br>Fast asleep, without a care, <br>Her painted lips were parted in<br>A sexy, loving pout, <br>As if a sudden climax had <br>Hit home, and knocked her out.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">'I've never seen...' he went to say<br>But Mary Jean had gone, <br>Was stomping down the stairway<br>Shouting curses at the moon, <br>The blond leapt up and smiled at him<br>And said: 'I'm sorry, Jack! '<br>Then as she left: 'You should have known, <br>You have to watch your back! '</div><div style="margin:10px 0">The papers for divorce, they were<br>Delivered, just on noon, <br>Demanding half the house and all<br>His Super, called the tune! <br>He stood accused, adultery, <br>And in the marriage bed, <br>While Jack sat down and tore his hair, <br>He wished that he was dead! </div><div style="margin:10px 0">He phoned the band of sisters, phoned<br>And spoke to every one, <br>He asked about the night before, <br>Just what was going on? <br>They wouldn't give away a thing, <br>Stonewalled, and left him lost, <br>'Til one broke down: 'So sorry Jack, <br>She planned it - you've been crossed! '</div><div style="margin:10px 0">She told him of an agency that<br>Figured out these things, <br>An office in a little street that<br>Specialized in 'Stings', <br>He took a trip downtown and then<br>He hung around 'til late, <br>The sign above the door, it said: <br>'Divorces! - see Czechmate! '</div><div style="margin:10px 0">At eight o'clock, a blond came tripping<br>Out into the street, <br>He recognized that pretty face, <br>The blond between the sheets! <br>He cornered her and made her spill<br>The beans, she looked quite scared, <br>It seemed that Mary Jean had paid<br>For her to grace his bed.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">His wife had been unfaithful with<br>The owner of the place, <br>A little Czech called Pavel, so<br>She wanted her own space.<br>She thought that she could score off him<br>If she could tap his guilt, <br>But Jack had other plans now that<br>Her secret had been spilt.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">He scribbled out a note and gave it<br>Folded to the blond, <br>And told her to deliver it<br>Before she could abscond.<br>He wrote, 'I hate to tell you this, <br>Your little scheme has failed! <br>About the money, honey -<br>Well, the Czech is in the Male!
