Lyrics
?The Check?s In The Mail?
1st verse
It seems like years since our rise and fall
And I can set my schedule around your monthly call
I know you?re just calling to see if I?m doing well
And oh by the way dear
The check?s in the mail
Chorus
And the man?s in the moon
And the farmers in the dell
Santa?s still coming far as I can tell
You know I believe you
And it?s a cold day in hell
And oh by the way dear
The check?s in the mail
2nd verse
I know it?s been hard since our divorce
You took on a roommate a man of course
You say that you?re just friends
You know I think that?s just swell
And oh by the way dear
The check?s in the mail
Repeat chorus
Bridge
I understand when you said
That you?re glad we?re still friends
Seems we talk more now
Than we did back then
And you still worry about me
Well that just rang a bell
Oh by the way dear
The check?s in the mail
Tag
Oh by the way dear
The check?s in the mail
