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]
