We can thank Paul Simon for the clever suggestions in “50 Ways To Leave Your lover Husband”.  Paul was one of the best singer, songwriters of his generation.  I remember this song as a child and thinking there was something very unusual about the tune and the lyrics.  It was both catchy and dangerous at the same time.  I think it’s appropriate all these years later, for a theme song.  I’ve changed the words and encourage you to sing along.  Essentially, I’ve reversed the gender.  What you end up with is a handsome stranger telling you 50 ways to leave your husband.  Pretend Ryan is the one explaining about the “50 ways”.

You just happened to run into him and the following interaction ensued;

“The problem is all inside your head”, she he said to me

The answer is easy if you take it logically

I’d like to help you in your struggle to be free

There must be 50 ways to leave your lover husband

She He said it’s really not my habit to intrude

Furthermore, I hope my meaning won’t be lost or misconstrued

But I’ll repeat myself at the risk of being crude

There must be 50 ways to leave your lover husband

Fifty ways to leave your lover husband

You just slip out the back, Jack Kath

Make a new plan, Stan Jan

You don’t need to be coy, Roy Joy

Just get yourself free

Hop on the bus, Gus Jess

You don’t need to discuss much

Just drop off the key, Lee Louise

And get yourself free

REPEAT

She He said it grieves me to see you in such pain

I wish there was something I could do to make you smile again

I said “I appreciate that and would you please explain

About the 50 ways?”

She He said “why don’t we both just sleep on it tonight

And I believe in the morning you’ll begin to see the light”

And then she he kissed me and I realized she he was probably right

There must be 50 ways to leave your lover husband

You just slip out the back, Kath

Make a new plan, Jan

You don’t need to be coy, Joy

Just get yourself free

Oooh, hop on the bus, Jess

You don’t need to discuss much

Just drop off the key, Louise

And get yourself free

REPEAT

Thanks, Paul Simon for an apt yet simple solution with the 50 ways.  Wish he had included the other 92 ways?

Do you have a theme song of your own or suggestions for some music therapy?
