Hank was still carrying a torch for Audrey when he impulsively married the 19-year-old Billie Jean. An out-of-wedlock daughter was born, to yet a third woman, days after his death and adopted by his mother. Legal machinations ensue.

Lyrics

It was a bloody mess when Ol’ Hank died
He left one ex-wife and a teenaged bride
And a third girl pregnant, weeping on the side
No will in which his wishes were defined

And the 1st Mrs. Williams said, “I loved him best”
The 2nd Mrs. Williams said, “I loved him last”
But the lawyers loved him most of all
The lawyers loved him most of all

Now, they fought like cats over Hank’s estate
And each one claimed to be his true soulmate
Hank’s short life did culminate
In forty long years of legal debate

And the 1st Mrs. Williams said, “Why, I’ve got his son!”
The 2nd Mrs. Williams said, “I’ve got his gun”
But the lawyers got the most of all
The lawyers got the most of all

Well, both widows took their shows on the road
The public flocked to see sorrow up close
One could sorta sing and the other had fine clothes
Neither sounded much like the radio

Then the 1st Mrs. Williams said, “Cease and desist”
The 2nd Mrs. Williams said, “Hey, we were hitched!”
But he lawyers said the most of all
The lawyers said the most of all

So, the new battle raged in the Court and the Press
Gossip swirled in every luncheonette
The Judge banged his gavel and laid to rest
The contrary claims of Blonde and Brunette

Then the 1st Mrs. Williams said, “Dammit – I’ll pay.”
The 2nd Mrs. Williams smiled and went away
But the lawyers smiled the most of all
The lawyers smiled the most of all
But the lawyers smiled the most of all
The lawyers smiled the most of all
