Lyrics

Babs and Clean Willie were in love, they said So in love, the preacher's face turned red Soon everybody knew the thing was dead He shouts, she bites, they wrangle through the night, yeah She go crazy, got to make a getaway Papa say, "Oh, no hesitation No tears and no hearts breakin' No remorse" "Oh, congratulations This is your Haitian divorce" She takes the taxi to the good hotel Bon marché, as far as she can tell She drinks the zombie from the coco shell She feels all right, she get it on tonight, yeah Mr. Driver, take me where the music play Papa say "Oh, no hesitation No tears and no hearts breakin' No remorse" "Oh, congratulations This is your Haitian divorce" At the Grotto in the greasy chair Sits the Charlie with the lotion and the kinky hair When she smiled, she said it all The band was hot, so They danced the famous merengue Now we dolly back Now we fade to black Tearful reunion in the USA Day by day, those memories fade away Some babies grow in a peculiar way It changed, it grew, and everybody knew, yeah Semi-mojo, who's this kinky so-and-so? Papa go "Oh, no hesitation No tears and no hearts breakin' No remorse" "Oh, congratulations This is your Haitian divorce"
