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

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?

Or the Italian riding instructor?

Or the man on the carousel?

Or the out of work actor in Westport?

Or the surgeon who cured the elms?

Or the Yalie from New Haven?

Or the farmer in the Dell?

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 about

The lifeguard at the yacht club?

Or the hairdresser from New London?

Or the tennis pro from Fairfield?

The Fuller Brush man from Bristol?

The fisherman from Mystic?

Or the novelist from New Canaan?

The usher at the movie theater?

The architect from Guilford?

The man on the carousel?

The man on the carousel?

The man on the carousel...
