My Neighbor Gave Me a Broken Jaw
My neighbor accused me when his truck was stolen.
He broke my jaw two months ago and it's still swollen.
I lost fifty pounds because my mouth had to be wired shut.
Even though I'm innocent, my neighbor still kicked my butt.
He bounced me around like a basketball.
I was no match for him because he's over seven feet tall.
The cops found the real crook and my neighbor knew I wasn't at fault.
He begged me for forgiveness but I still had that ox arrested for assault.
When he went to jail, his boss fired him and his wife left, it's sad but true.
When he is released, he will come looking for me and it will be round two.
