Hey, fellas, have you heard the news? Oh yeah...
The women of this town are being misused...oh yeah...
I've seen it all in my dreams last night...oh yeah...
Girls leaving this town 'cause we don't treat 'em right, yeah...oh yeah...

Well, I'll take a train...take a train...
Fly by plane...fly by plane...
They're getting tired...getting tired...
They're sick and tired...sick and tired...

All you fellas better change your ways...oh yeah...
They're leaving this town in a matter of days...oh yeah...
Girls are good, you better treat 'em true...oh yeah...
Seen fellas run around with someone new...oh yeah...

I'm getting tired...getting tired...
Sick and tired...sick and tired...
They're leaving here...leaving here...

Leaving here...been a while...
Oh yeah... 
Oh yeah...

Oh yeah...

The love of a woman is a wonderful thing...oh yeah...
The way that we treat 'em is a trying shame...oh yeah...
I'll tell you fellas, yeah, it won't be long...oh yeah...
Before these women, they all have gone...oh yeah...
They're getting tired...getting tired...
Sick and tired...sick and tired...
