Wife Number Five (by Steve Key ©2019)

Wife Number One was just for fun
Wife Number Two could not be true
Wife Number Three gave me a family
Wife Number Four chased them all out the door
So I'm glad I stayed alive for Wife Number Five

Wife Number One was a Mustang
Wife Number Two was a Subaru
Wife Number Three drove an SUV
Wife Number Four kept my Honda Accord
But oh, what I get to drive with Wife Number Five

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again
Toss the dice and throw the rice and hope it never ends

Wife Number One fried chicken
Wife Number Two loved bar-be-que
Wife Number Three only ate Lean Cuisine
Wife Number Four said she wouldn't cook no more
But I'm eating steak every night with Wife Number Five

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again
Just say yes, and until death, I hope we'll still be friends

Wife Number One was a virgin
Wife Number Two was not
Wife Number Three liked it once a week
Wife Number Four ran off with the girl next door
But my love life has been revived with Wife Number Five
Yeah, I'm glad I stayed alive for Wife Number Five
