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"
