歌詞
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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 than realized?
I had to know so I followed her home
I could not believe my eyes
And then I saw
[Chorus]
Karen by night
The leather comes out under the moonlight
Takes off her Chanel and she hops on her bike
Looking like young Marlon Brando, Karen by night
[Bridge]
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
She 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
[Instrumental]
The next morning, I'm late as usual
Karen's there fresh as a daisy
She says with a smile, "Why, you look like hell
And where were you last night?"
[Chorus]
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 she hops on her bike
Looking like Marlon Brando (Looking like Marlon Brando)
Looking like young Marlon Brando (Looking like young Marlon Brando)
Wish I could be more like
Karen by night
[Outro]
Looking like young Marlon Brando
Not like old fat Marlon Brando in Apocalypse Now
Karen by night
Karen by night
