Faux Fred and Phony Tony
lied about their alimony
to the lawyer of their exes
from a phone in Fred's new Lexus
An unconvinced divorce attorney
took the long cross-country journey
to discover if they'd lied
about the funds now alibied
He found them both at Trader Vic's
with rented women and gold bricks
the women were both nearly bare
the gold was merely sitting there
The lawyer cleared his throat out loud
which silenced the entire crowd
of party goers dancing 'round
a pin drop was the only sound
"Your 'used-to-be's' are sadly lacking
the agreed financial backing
that makes them provided for
every day forevermore"
Phony Tony smiled and said
"Can't you see that me and Fred
have no roof above our heads
All we have are these few bricks
to build a house that isn't sticks
Report our state of destitution
and join us in this prostitution"
The lawyer made the call and lied
that further funds would be denied
then grabbed a seat twixt gold and gals
and made a toast to his new pals
