Ray Stevens - Rita's Letter lyrics



Rita got a letter from her second husband
Told her that he might be passing through town next Wednesday
Would she like to get together, catch a movie, fool around?
(He didn't write that but she read it)

Rita couldn't help but think there might be trouble
Something in the way he signed his name peculiar
Calls himself Nirvana now instead of Beauregard
That makes it awful hard

Chorus:
Because you see
He never paid her alimony
He never even bothered to thank her for not calling the law
That wasn't all
He took the car, the dogs, and her brother's guitar
The one that was sent back from Rio
Back in '73

Rita read that Beauregard had found the answer
Somewhere in the teachings of a little round man
Who promised love and everlasting joy to those with offerings
Of all their worldly things

So Rita tore the letter into tiny pieces
Just before there came a knock on the door
And you guessed it--sporting robe and ponytail
He gave the sign for life
She threw the kitchen knife

Chorus:
Because you see
He gave away her alimony
And no one ever bothered to thank her for not calling the law
That wasn't all
He gave the car, the dogs, and her brother's guitar
The one that was sent back from Rio
Back in '73
