Now Jacob got two women and a whole house full of kids And he schemed his way back to the promised land And he finds it's one thing to win 'em And it's another to keep 'em content When he knows that he is only just one man And his sky's an empty bottle and when he's drunk the ocean dry He sails off three sheets to some reckless wind And his friends say "ain't it awful" He says "no, I think it's fine"

And her sky is just a bandit swinging at the end of a hangman's noose Cause he stole the moon and must be made to pay for it And her friends say "My, that's tragic" She says "Especially for the moon"
