Jill Sobule - Karen By Night Lyrics

Send "Karen By Night" ringtone to your cell

Karen she's my boss at the shoe store

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"

Karen she always declines

And we talk about

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

In the stockroom searching for a 9B

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 playing tricks?

Was there more to this Karen then realized?

I had to know so I followed her home

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 blonde buck walked in

She grabbed him by the collar

Kissed him hard on the mouth

And slapped him on the cheek

Then I thought she spied me in the corner of her eye

So I ran outside but all night all I could think about was

Karen by night

The next morning I'm late as usual

Karen's there fresh as a daisy

She says with a smile "You look like hell

And where you last night?"

Karen by night

Imagine she must lead a very dull life

With just a cat or 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 hops on her bike

Looking like Marlon Brando

Looking like young Marlon Brando

Wish I could be more like

Karen by night

Looking like young Marlon Brando

Not like the old fat Marlon Brando in Apocalypse Now

Karen by Night
