Dead Cat on the Line Songtext
von Diamanda Galás

You Chicago women run hand in hand
You run around with one another′s man

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

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′re in such a sniffer gettin' mighty strung
When you shake hands you got to hold it so long

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


She as standin′ in church with her own man
I saw you when you tickled her in her hand

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

(Play it now!)

You're brownskin, your husband ain't fair
Your children all yellin′ got curly hair

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

Early this mornin' 'bout half past four
I seen Bill Johnson comin′ out your door

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

There's one thing I can't understand
You broke up your home and quit your reg′lar man


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
