My Old Lady Lyrics - Harry Chapin

She wore an S.E.G. when she came back home 

Like the cat that ate the canary 

And I stood befuddled, a chauvanist stud 

With his mistress quite contrary 

I was smack up against the moment 

I was afraid i would face someday 

But the truth is a wall that you can't blow down 

And it won't be laughed away 

You see, my old lady went and took herself 

A young man last night 

It got me crazy when she said, 

"Baby, don't you get uptight, 

I think maybe it's the time for you to see the light," 

She said, "It's alright now, boy, I'm yours tonight."

Now I admit my imagination's been 

The sweetest sinner of all 

Yes it lives like a snake in Eden 

And it forgives each time I fall 

So I've been Casanova 

I've double-dated with Don Juan 

And though I've been doing almost everything 

I never dreamed she'd be carrying on! 

You see, my old lady went and took herself 

A young man last night 

It got me crazy when she said, 

"Baby, don't you get uptight, 

I think maybe it's the time for you to see the light," 

She said, "It's alright now, boy, I'm yours tonight."

She says that she still loves me 

She says that last night was no big deal 

She says, "Why can't a woman play the same damn game 

And act out what she feels?" 

She says she's going to take a bath 

I hear her singing in the tub upstairs 

While I'm sitting here spitting out chunks of my heart 

Forced into being fair, 

While she's splashing rround up there, 

I'm supposed to act like I don't care, 

I hear the devil laughing somewhere! 

You see, my old lady went and took herself 

A young man last night 

It got me crazy when she said, 

"Baby, don't you get uptight, 

I think maybe it's the time for you to see the light," 

She said, "It's alright now, boy, I'm yours tonight."
