Текст песни Carlene, Phil Vassar

(Phil Vassar/Charlie Black/Rory Michael Bourke)

I was lousy at math, failed historian
Carlene was the valedictorian
I was the quarter back in the back of classes
She was the whiz kid in horned rim glasses

It s been a long time since I ve been around
Since I stepped foot on my old stomping ground
I ended up by the old school yard
When this red head pulled up in a blue sports car
She said, "I bet you don t remember, I guess it s been forever."
It took a second to put it all together and I said.

Ooh la la la la la
Looking good Carlene
Woh my my my my my
Times been good to you
If you know what I mean
Girl you glitter like hollywood
Good god carlene
You sure are lookin good

She said hop in let s go for a spin
Tell me whatcha been doing boy and where you been
I said I write songs, you probably didn t know, but I
finally got a couple out on country radio
She said, "What a switch, ain t life funny, I ve got a PHD,
now I m modeling for money."
Imagine little miss 4.0 just smiling for the camera on the cover of Vogue
I said you ve come a long way since graduation
Let me say without hesitation
You ve surpassed everyone s expectations

Ooh la la la la la
Looking good Carlene
Woh my my my my my
Times been good to you
If you know what I mean
Girl you glitter like hollywood
Good god carlene
You sure are lookin good

I said I hope to see you again someday
She said another ten years is too long to wait
Pick me up at my Momma s at eight!

And I said.

Ooh la la la la la
Looking good Carlene
Woh my my my my my
Times been good to you
If you know what I mean
Ooh la la la la la
Looking good Carlene
Woh my my my my my
Times been good to you
If you know what I mean
Ooh la la la la la
Looking good Carlene
Woh my my my my my
Times been good to you
If you know what I mean
