if I'm not back in thirty minutes
send up a helicopter
my girl ran off with another guy
I guess I might have stopped her
I never did try I let her go
I hope it's not too late
I'll cry and plead my honey come back
yes I'll ingratiate
and if she does return to me
I'll do the best I can
but I won't fuss and I won't fight
not with that other man
and I won't put up with this crap
not even one more time
she tried to take me for a sap
and she knows I'm past my prime
but I have won the lottery
it's worth a million bucks
now that ought to bring a little kiss
at the Motel Deluxe
if I'm not back in thirty minutes
send up a helicopter
my girl ran off with another guy
but the lottery might just stop her
