I come home from work the other night dog tired as I could be I saw a gray
fedora where my hat ought to be now man I'm not the jealous type but it sure
appears to me when I come home ought to see my hat where my hat ought to be
suspicions suspicion it's got its hold on me when a green-eyed monster gets
ya he'll never set you free like the other morning I left the house I started
to laugh and sing when I got about halfway down to work I got to thinking
about something so I doubled back home and opened the door to see if I'd got a
letter now I'm not the least bit jealous you know me man I know better well I
kind of tippy-toed in you know just to see what I could see I saw a great big
black cigar where my pipe ought to 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 it's got its hold on me when a green-eyed monster
gets ya he'll never set you free
my wife says that I'm jealous well you know I ain't of course say when I come
home with a hair on my coat I gotta show her the horse but like the other morning
she got up and left the house about five said she felt like taking a walk in the
hills felt good to be alive well I didn't give it very much thought but I
did notice just for fun that the nylon on her left leg had started a little run
now she come busting back home at nine I know I wasn't tired but the nylon run
I'd noticed now I was over on the right suspicion suspicion it's got its hold on
me when a green-eyed monster gets ya he'll never set you free
I've been thinking about it lately with prices the way they go how come it was
we eat so much and our grocery bill so low understand I'm not complaining say I
should be filled with joy but I just got to thinking about that good-looking
grocery boy so just in case I had a clue I thought I'd set a trap when I come
home unexpectedly he was sitting in my wife's lap she smiled at me a sickly
smile and what do you think she said look honey I caught a burglar and a
grocery boy dropped it suspicion suspicion it's got its hold on me when a
green-eyed monster gets ya he'll never set you free
it never set you free
