Simon, Carly - 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
[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
The first year I was faithful
He confesses to the girl
Admitting to the least of his sins
She falls for it and once again he wins
He's so shy, he's in love with his lies
[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
Or the out of work actor in Westport
Or the surgeon who cured the elms
Or the man at the vegetable stand
Or the guru who cast a spell
Or the Yalie from New Haven
Or the farmer in the Dell
How about
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

Simon, Carly The Wives Are In Connecticut Comments
Perfect Carly. Magical vocals throughout.
A surprisingly spirited and buoyant structure new to her songs. And scathing lyrics about wives cheating in the affluent burbs.
Not the first time she's sung about infidelities.
Opening of the song always reminded me of Peter Gabriel's Solsbury Hill.... And the man in the carousel.
I came from the area she sings about--Norwalk on the border of Westport.
This song is wild!
Greg I couldn't have said it better myself
I've been looking for this song for over 20 years..couldn't remember the accurate title. Thank you pc guru's!
I own the original album...the little girl on the harmonies, is her daughter
He's so sly,,,he's in love with his lies,,,,,,
Brilliant song.
I've been looking for this song for over 20 years..couldn't remember the accurate title. Thank you pc guru's! :-)
This is the Carly I love!
Have always loved this song!
This song won Carly the theme song Coming Around Again, from Mike Nichols. That led to her next album which was her big comeback. Note Sally Taylor singing backup as a young girl.
