Lyrics: "You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free
I was best man for my buddy and he was in tears before the wedding, wishing he could get out of it. That song was running through my head in the back room of the church before the ceremony. I had twenty bucks to my name at the time and tried to get him out the back door and to a bus station. I didn't know how far $20 would get him, but anywhere would be far enough. I begged him to not make a mistake, but he went ahead with it. The marriage lasted a couple years - just long enough to have 2 kids - but it was a disaster from the start.
