[Tom:]
Here comes the bride, and there goes the groom
Looks like a hurricane went through this room

[Crystal:]
Smells like a pool hall; where's my other shoe?
And I'm sick and tired of pickin' up after you

[Tom:]
Looks like you spent the night in a trench
And tell me, how long have you been combin' your hair with a wrench?

[Crystal:]
The roses are dead and the violets are, too
And I'm sick and tired of pickin' up after you

[Tom:]
Well, I've told you before, I won't tell you again
You don't defrost the icebox with a ball point pen
This railroad apartment is held together with glue
And I'm sick and tired of pickin' up after you

[Tom:]
Because I know I've been swindled; I never bargained for this
What's more, you never cared about me

[Crystal:]
Why don't you get your own place so you can live like you do?
And I'm sick and tired of pickin' up after you

[Tom:]
Take all your relatives and all of your shoes
Believe me, I'll really swing when you're gone
I'll be living on chicken and wine after we're through
With someone I pick up after - you

[Crystal:]
With someone I pick up after - you

[Tom:]
With someone I pick up after - you

[Crystal and Tom:]
With someone I pick up after - you
