This was suggested a long time ago -- literally, years -- by Ricky Lile. The keywords were "fish market", "paddle boats", and "surprise subpoena".
lyrics
Oh, I went down to the fish market in my brand-new paddle boat,
When De Man, he surprised me, wid a subpoena stuck down my throat.
My wife said I was lazy, and she wanted a divorce,
She wanted half my money, and de paddle boat, of course.
I said,
You can take de money,
You can take my leather coat,
You can take de house, you dirty louse,
But you don' get de paddle boat.
So I went down to de courthouse, and de judge, he say, "My friend,
Jus' hand over de boat, now, and dis whole sad thing will end."
I said, "Judge, I can't do it -- it'll never work, because
It's a smoother, better, quieter ride den my wife ever was."
I said,
You can take de children,
You can take my blue-ribbon stoat,
You can take de car, an' my old guitar,
But you don't get de paddle boat.
You can take everything I got,
You can leave me desti-tote,
Den just go away, I will be okay,
Long as I got de paddle boat.
Just go away, I will be okay,
Long as I got de paddle boat!

Alexander James Adams "The Blue Rose Rare and Other Faerie Tales" is an excellent album. With songs retelling a variety of myths and faerie tales, each song is both very fun to listen to, fits well together as an album, and is distinct from the rest of the album. Brownie Dan especially stuck out to me, both in terms of just being a really fun song musically and in terms of the lyrics being delightful.
Definitely worth a listen, and thank you for a wonderful album. Kamani
