Verse 1:
My name's in the paper where I took the boy scouts to hike
My hands are dirty from working on my little boy's bike
The preacher came by and I talked for a minute with him
My wife's in the kitchen and Margies at the Lincoln Park Inn

Verse 2:
And I know why she's there, I've been there before
But I made a promise that I wouldn't cheat anymore
I try to ignore it but I know she's in there my friend
My mind's on a number and Margie's at the Lincoln Park Inn

Verse 3:
Next Sunday it's my turn to speak to the young people's class
They expect answers to all of the questions they ask
What would they say if I spoke on a modern day sin
And al of the Margie's at all of the Lincoln Park Inns

Verse 4:
The bike is all fixed and my little boy's in bed asleep
His little old puppy is curled in a ball at my feet
My wife's baking cookies to feed to the bridge clup again
I'm almost out of cigarettes and Margie's at the Lincoln Park Inn

And I know why she's there
