Sitting at home, the telephone rings
Old girl of mine looking to spend some time
Now my girlfriend's away. I can't see no harm
A couple of drinks and some talk of old times
When the cat's away the mice will play
We had such good time, a bottle of wine
With some old friends of mine
The next thing I knew, we were alone together
We dimmed the lights, our bodies entwined
When the cat's away the mice will play
Then a knock on my door, a spill of some wine
I answer the door, and what do I find?
My girlfriend staring at me, boy, what a surprise!
Woman in my bed, holding a gla** of wine
When the cat's away the mice will play
To make a long story short, she asked how I could do this
In a calm sort of voice
And then without an answer, I mean , what could I say?
I just closed the door and that was goodbye...
When the cat's away the mice will play
