Karen By Night - Lyrics by Jill Sobule


Lyrics
Karen she
´s my boss at the shoestore
We sell to the rich on madison avenue
I come in late from brooklyn on the f-train
Karen says honey, make this your last time
But we like her, she
´s firm but approachable
Dresses in style, pretty conservative
We ask her, hey come out with us after work
But karen she always deelines
Karen by night
We imagine she must lead a very dull life
With just a cat and a book by her side
We know her by day but we don
´t know
Karen by night
Karen by night
In the stockroomsearching for a 9-b
I overheard karen whisper on the phone
She said: "meet me at the club
There
´s a shipment coming in
And i can
´t pull this one off alone."
Well, i didn
´t know what to think
Was my mind plying tricks
Was there more to this karen than realized
I had to know so i followed her home
And i could not believe my eyes
And then i saw
Karen by night
The leather comes out under the moonlight
Takes off her chanel and hops on her bike
Looking like young marlon brando
Karen by night
Saw her leaning on the bar with a drink in hand
And a cigarette dangling from her bright red lips
She looked like she was looking for someone
Like she was looking for a fight
Then a young blond buck walked in
She grabbed him by the collar,she kissed him hard on the mouthand slapped him on the cheekthen i thought she spied me in the corner of her eyeso i ran outside but all night all i could thinkabout waskaren by nightthat next morning i
´m late as usual,karen
´s there fresh as a daisyshe says with a smile, "you look like helland where were you last night."
Karen by nightimagine she must lead a very dull life
With just a cat and a book by her side
We know her by day but we don
´t know
Karen by night
The leather comes out under the moonlight
Takes off her chanel and she hops on her bike
Looking like marlon brando
Looking like young marlon brando
Wish i could be more like
Karen by night
