You Chicago women run hand in hand

You run around with one another's man

[chorus:] There's a dead cat on the line

There's a dead cat on the line

I ain't lyin', you're the cheatin' kind

There's a dead cat on the line



You come home at night talkin' out your head

You have to take a bath before you go to bed

[chorus]



You're in such a sniffer gettin' mighty strung

When you shake hands you got to hold it so long

[chorus]



She as standin' in church with her own man

I saw you when you tickled her in her hand

[chorus]

(Play it now!)



You're brownskin, your husband ain't fair

Your children all yellin' got curly hair

[chorus]



Early this mornin' 'bout half past four

I seen Bill Johnson comin' out your door

[chorus]



There's one thing I can't understand

You broke up your home and quit your reg'lar man

[chorus]
