[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] Oh, no hesitation No tears and no hearts breakin' No remorse Oh, congratulations This is your Haitian divorce [Verse 2] She takes the taxi to the good hotel Bon marché as far as she can tell She drinks the zombie from the cocoa shell She feels alright, she get it on tonight, yeah Mister driver Take me where the music play, Papa say [Chorus] Oh, no hesitation No tears and no hearts breakin' No remorse Oh, congratulations This is your Haitian divorce [Bridge] 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 [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Tearful reunion in the U.S.A 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 [Chorus] Oh, no hesitation No tears and no hearts breakin' No remorse Oh, congratulations This is your Haitian divorce [Instrumental Outro]
