She-Men at Dinner

Lyrics

[Verse 1] She-Men walked in sweet Pearls and patent shoes Bougie little black dress Like she had nothing to lose The table was all roses Champagne, silverware Then a little bad wind Slipped right through the air [Pre-Chorus] She froze with her glass held high Looked at me with them big brown eyes Then she nodded at the kitten by the chair Like the cat done left it there [Chorus] She-Men blamed the cat Blamed the cat, blamed the cat Fancy folks all knew That wasn't where it sat She-Men blamed the cat With a straight-face act But I saw that smile And I heard the aftermath [Verse 2] The preacher's wife blinked once Uncle Ray turned red The shrimp on ice got nervous On that polished table spread She petted that poor kitten Said, "Honey, he's the one" But that cat just licked his paw Like, "Ma'am, I ain't done none" [Pre-Chorus] She tried to save her pride With a fake little cough and sigh Then she pointed at the litter box display Like it all could go away [Chorus] She-Men blamed the cat Blamed the cat, blamed the cat Fancy folks all knew That wasn't where it sat She-Men blamed the cat With a straight-face act But I saw that smile And I heard the aftermath [Bridge] Well, the ice cream melted slow The violin quit its song But everybody at that table Knew exactly what went wrong She-Men smoothed her dress And kept that royal tone Still that cat looked innocent From his velvet little throne [Chorus] She-Men blamed the cat Blamed the cat, blamed the cat Fancy folks all knew That wasn't where it sat She-Men blamed the cat With a straight-face act But I saw that smile And I heard the aftermath [Outro] Now every time we pass that yard I grin and shake my head 'Cause She-Men and that fancy meal Ain't a story you forget She-Men blamed the cat Yeah, the cat took the rap
