What a strange world we live in, what a shame, oh what a shame!
Someone's always quarrellin' the marriage don't remain
Divorces by the thousands; is the human race insane?
I always thought that marriage should be a sacred thing
Chorus
Married by the bible divorced by the law;
Ev'ry day there's more and more, the worst I ever saw
Things have changed, they're not the same as the days of ma and pa
They were married by the bible, no divorces by the law
Steps are often taken without thinking twice
And oft' times there's a child or two who's left to pay the price
Those little hearts so innocent they don't know who's to blame
No mom and dad to love them, what a shame, oh what a shame!
Chorus
