Lyrics for Song: The Wives are In Connecticut
Lyrics for Album: Spoiled Girl [1985]



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 cando 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, and 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

The mechanic who fixed the wagon

Or the gardener who dug the well

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



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



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 Canan

The usher at the movie theater

The architect from Guilford

Or the man on the carousel

The man on the carousel........
