Lyrics

Mary, Mary Faye Tucker from Baltimore, Maryland
Insulting my children and selling me a timeshare
Five royal crown resorts in the middle of nowhere
But you can save up your points for a real vacation 
For a real vacation every other year, every other year

Mary, Mary Faye Tucker gets paid by commission
Her husband sells insurance, on sunday sells religion
She paints on a mascara, martini breakfast every morning
Now Mary’s taking her sweet time to ruin my vacation
Ruin my vacation every other year, every other year

She said “You’ll change your mind, I’ll show you where to sign
Don’t waste your hard-earned money on real estate, when you can buy some time.”
Mary Faye, Mary Faye

Every other, every other, every other, every other, every other year
Mary, Mary Faye Tucker thinks that I’m a sucker
