There is a rumor going ‘round
That Desdemona's Leaving Town
She got stuck in the Sailor's Knot
And it dragged her around
But now she's upright, out of our sight
Everyday another stray'll find its way out of the pound:

Desdemona went to settle the bill of her former life
Desdemona went over the hill to be another man's wife
She's gonna get to see the stars upon a platter
Gonna bet she'll meet the man of her dreams
She's such a go-getter
And we won't ever forget her no!

They put a siren in the rain
That took our Desdemona home again
This time she looked different and it wasn't just the shackles and chains
Right in the spot heart used to be
The laundry's going round and round and round again

Desdemona went to settle to bill of her former life
Desdemona went over the hill to be another man's wife
And now she'll find her road is lined with silver arrows
And they'll guide her to the end of her dream
You're gone for good babe
But you'll live forever on the front page

Desdemona's gonna make me cry
I'm gonna take my hat off

Hey Boys
Desdemona's Leaving!
Hey Boys
Desdemona's Leaving!
Desdemona's Leaving Town -
No more fights
Or staying up all night
