Karen By Night Lyrics - Jill Sobule

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 

Photos 

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 were 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
