You came by to give her a surprise. Her shorts and top were a feast for the eyes. She says he was there to teach her trig. Your doin' the jealousy jig! She tells amazing stories, but alas, This ain't a creative writing class. To catch her is to catch a greased pig, And you're doing the jealousy jig! The smile on her face sure makes you wary, Looks like the cat that ate the canary. You wonder if that guy's really so big. That's the jealousy jig! Suddenly, she's getting so hard to reach, Says she doesn't want to be on your leash. Better get yourself a different gig, 'Cuz you're doing that jealousy jig!
