The Wives Are In Connecticut Lyrics - Carly Simon

(Carly Simon) 

He figures out a restaurantS ARE IN CONNECTICUT 

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 

(Chorus) 

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 

(Repeat Chorus) 

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 

Photos 

Or the out of work actor in Westport 

Or the surgeon who cured the ills 

Or the Yalie from New Haven 

Or the farmer in the Dell 

(Repeat Chorus) 

How about 

The lifeguard at the yacht club 

The hairdresser from New London 

The tennis pro from Fairfield 

The Fuller Brush man from Bristol 

The fisherman from Mystic 

The novelist from New Canan 

The usher at the movie theater 

The architect from Guilford 

The man on the carousel
