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]
