lyrics

Sarah and Jack, a couple of two,
Married as one with no clue
Of what was to come, of what was to be,
Of what could be saved if they could see...

They rise with the sun, their feet hit the floor
Soon they'll be out the front door
She whips up some eggs, the sunny side up,
The cloudy side is their prenup

Sarah and Jack are fine if
You dismiss
What's amiss
But closing the doors
that show any faults
Strikes up the Bigamy Waltz

Weekly on Fridays Jack's good friend Ray
Joins in a poker soiree
He's slick with the deal, has Kings in his cuffs
But after Jack's folded Ray still bluffs

How, you may ask, could Sarah betray
The man that she wed that fine day?
Sarah's not evil, nor is she kind;
she acts in spite yet waltzes

Blind to the fact that Jack may
Feel the same….
So now who's to blame?
By closing the doors that
Showed any faults
They struck up the Bigamy -

Waltz to work Jack, be back soon-
She meets your friend Ray at noon…. Ray plays

Poker with Sarah under the sheets
The telephone rings as she cheats
Jack, on the line, won't be back today
He's playing cards with his friend Ray….

Ray is with Sarah, so where's
Jack, I pray?
Not with Ray...

She suddenly finds this dance quite the chore
Now that she's not alone on the floor
What could have been saved by words now defaults
As long as they close all the doors to their vaults
They'll dance the Bigamy Waltz
