The Wives Are In Connecticut Lyrics
THE WIVES ARE IN CONNECTICUT(Carly Simon)He figures out a restaurantWhere they won't be recognizedHe can always slip the maitre’d a tenGet a private little table and try her on for sizeMake a plan of where to do it whenHe’s so sly, he’s in love with his lies(Chorus)And the wives, the wives are in ConnecticutThe wives, the wives are in ConnecticutTrying to forget it, that they really do regret itThat they moved up to ConnecticutThat they moved up to ConnecticutThe first year I was faithfulHe confesses to the girlAdmitting to the least of his sinsHis candour, so disarming, in this wicked city worldShe falls for it and once again he winsHe’s so sly, he’s in love with his lies(Repeat Chorus)The five flight walk upCan he make it?He keeps promising to go back to the gymHe thinks about his wifeSo passionate last nightWas she really feeling it for him?Or was it junior’s teacher?Or the carpenter who put up the shelvesOr the mechanic who fixed the wagonOr the gardener who dug the wellOr the Italian riding instructorOr the man on the CarouselOr the out of work actor in WestportOr the surgeon who cured the illsOr the Yalie from New HavenOr the farmer in the Dell(Repeat Chorus)How aboutThe lifeguard at the yacht clubThe hairdresser from New LondonThe tennis pro from FairfieldThe Fuller Brush man from BristolThe fisherman from MysticThe novelist from New CananThe usher at the movie theaterThe architect from GuilfordThe man on the carousel
