The Wives Are In Connecticut

Lyrics

He figures out a restaurant
 Where they won't be recognized
 He can always slip the maitre'd a ten
 Get a private little table and try her on for size
 Make a plan of where to do it when
 He's so sly, he's in love with his lies
 And the wives, the wives are in Connecticut
 The wives, the wives are in Connecticut
 Trying to forget it that they really do regret it
 That they moved up to Connecticut
 That they moved up to Connecticut
 The first year I was faithful
 He confesses to the girl
 Admitting to the least of his sins
 His candour so disarming in this wicked city world
 She falls for it and once again he wins
 He's so sly, he's in love with his lies
 And the wives, the wives are in Connecticut
 The wives, the wives are in Connecticut
 Trying to forget it that they really do regret it
 That they moved up to Connecticut
 That they moved up to Connecticut
 That they moved up to Connecticut
 The five flight walk up
 Can he make it?
 He keeps promising to go back to the gym
 Oh, he thinks about his wife
 So passionate last night
 Was she really feeling it for him?
 Or was it junior's teacher?
 Or the carpenter who put up the shelves?
 Or the mechanic who fixed the wagon?
 Or the gardener who dug the well?
 The Italian riding instructor?
 Or the man on the carousel? (Man on the carousel)
 Or the out of work actor in Westport? (Man on the carousel)
 Or the surgeon who cured the ills? (Man on the carousel)
 Or the Yalie from New Haven? (Man on the carousel)
 Or the farmer in the Dell? (Man on the carousel)
 Oh, the wives, the wives are in Connecticut
 The wives, the wives are in Connecticut
 Trying to forget it that they really do regret it
 That they moved up to Connecticut
 That they moved up to Connecticut
 That they moved up to Connecticut
 That they moved up to Connecticut
 How 'bout the lifeguard at the yacht club?
 Or the hairdresser from New London?
 Or the tennis pro from Fairfield?
 The Fuller Brush man from Bristol?
 Or the fisherman from Mystic?
 Or the novelist from New Canan?
 The usher at the movie theater?
 The architect from Guilford?
 Or the man on the carousel? (Man on the carousel)
 Or the man on the carousel? (Man on the carousel)
 The man on the carousel? (Man on the carousel)
 The man on the carousel? (Man on the carousel)
