C
Well variety is the spice of life
                                   A
That's what the judge is going to tell my wife
           G                          F
She said why did you have to do it, why you such a fool?
   C                               G
I can't resist to try something new

Well the judge said guilty in the first degree
I said can I help it if I take all the publicity
All these pretty women, with nothing to do
Come on and help me try to find something new

Chorus:
     F
You got to try everything once
     C
You better take out some insurance
     F
You got to try everything once
     G
You better build up your endurance

Well variety is the spice of life
Thats what the judge is going to tell my wife
She said why did you have to do it, why you such a fool?
I can't resist to try something new

You got a full house baby, I got four of a kind
I'm watching six different televisions all at one time
You know I love you baby, sad but it's true

Chorus

Well variety is the spice of life
That's what the judge is going to tell my wife
She said why did you have to do it, why you such a fool?
I can't resist to try something new
