Episode version

 * Lurleen:
 * Work all day for some old man
 * Sweat n' break your back.


 * Homer:
 * Yeah.


 * Lurleen:
 * Then you go home to your castle,
 * But your queen won't cut you slack.


 * Homer:
 * That's true.


 * Lurleen:
 * That's why you're losin' all your hair,
 * That's why you're overweight.


 * Homer:
 * Uh-huh.


 * Lurleen:
 * That's why you flipped your pickup truck
 * Right off the interstate.


 * Homer:
 * That's right! Except for the pickup truck.


 * Lurleen:
 * There's a lot of bull they hand you,
 * There's nothin' you can do,
 * Your wife don't understand you, but I do.
 * No, your wife don't understand you, but I do.
 * I said no one understands you but I do!

 * Our next act is our very own singing waitress, Lurleen. (audience whoops) So I'm, uh, afraid drink service will stop for just a few moments. (audience boos) They're all yers.


 * Homer:
 * Stupid Marge tell me to shut up.


 * Lurleen:
 * Thank you. Tonight I'd like to try somethin' a little different. It's a song I wrote while I mopped up your dried blood and teeth.
