SUSPICION

Tex Williams
|
|
I come home from work the other night,
|
Dog tired as I could be,
|
I saw a gray Fedora
|
Where MY hat oughta be..
|
Now Man, IĄŻm not the jealous type
|
But it sure appears to me
|
When I come home I oughta see MY hat
|
Where MY hat oughta be !
|
|
Suspicion, Suspicion, its got a hold on me
|
When that green-eyed monster gets ya,
|
heĄŻll never let ya free,
|
|
Like the other morning, I left the house,
|
I started to laugh and sing,
|
When I got about half way down to work,
|
When I started to think about some things,
|
So I doubled back home and opened the door
|
To see if IĄŻd got a letter,
|
Now IĄŻm not the least bit jealous, you know me,
|
man, I know better..
|
I kind-a tippy--toed in to see what I could see, and
|
Man I saw a big black cigar
|
Where my pipe oughta be..
|
On the breakfast table there was bacon and eggs
|
And toast, and orange peel,
|
When I got up my wife gave me
|
A dish of cold Oatmeal !
|
|
Suspicion, Suspicion, its got a hold on me
|
When that green-eyed monster gets ya,
|
heĄŻll never set ya free,
|
|
My wife says IĄŻm jealous, well
|
You know I ainĄŻt, of course,
|
Say, when I come home with a hair on my coat,
|
I gotta show HER the HORSE,
|
Like the other morning, she got up
|
And left the house about five,
|
Said she felt like takinĄŻ a walk in the hills,
|
Felt good to be alive...
|
Well I didnĄŻt give it very much thought,
|
But I did notice, just for fun,
|
That the nylon on her left leg
|
Had started a little run..
|
When she come bustinĄŻ back home about nine,
|
I know I wasnĄŻt tight,
|
But the nylon run IĄŻd noticed, now
|
Was over on the right !!
|
|
Suspicion, Suspicion, its got a hold on me
|
When that green-eyed monster gets ya,
|
heĄŻll never set ya free,
|
|
Been thinkinĄŻ about it lately,
|
With prices as they go,
|
How come it was we eat so much,
|
Our grocery billĄŻs so low ?
|
Understand, IĄŻm not complaining, no,
|
I should be filled with joy,
|
But I just got to thinkinĄŻ about
|
that good-lookinĄŻ grocery boy..
|
So just in case i had a clue,
|
I thought IĄŻd set a trap,
|
When I came home unexpectedly
|
He was sittinĄŻ in my wifeĄŻs lap !
|
She smiled at me, the sickliest smile,
|
And whaddaya think she said ?
|
Ą°Look Honey, I caught a burglar !Ą±
|
And that grocery boy dropped dead!
|
|
Suspicion, Suspicion, its got a hold on me
|
When that green-eyed monster gets ya,
|
heĄŻll never set ya free,
|
|
Never Set You Free !
