Somebody Stole My Wife

Mungo Jerry is a British rock group whose greatest success was in the early 1970s, though they have continued throughout the years with an ever-changing line-up, always fronted by Ray Dorset. They are remembered above all for their hit "In the Summertime". It remains their most successful and most instantly recognisable song, and their only hit outside of the UK. Their name was inspired by the poem "Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer", from T. S. Eliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats. According to Joseph Murrell's The Book of Golden Discs (1978), "Mungomania" was possibly the most startling and unpredicted pop phenomenon to hit Britain since The Beatles. more »

[Chorus]
Somebody stole my wife, yeah,
Somebody stole my wife,
Somebody stole my wife, yeah they did,
Somebody stole my wife, yeah,
Somebody stole my wife,
Somebody stole my wife.

I went away one weekend, When I came back she'd left me,
And I cried every night, Somebody stole my wife.

I never thought she'd leave me, Never thought she would deceive me,
But I was wrong not right, Somebody stole my wife.

My nights are getting longer, And my love is getting stronger,
I've lost my appetite, Somebody stole my wife.

I can't get my boots clean, You know just what I mean,
And my shirts are not white, Somebody stole my wife.
