Charmaine Champagne Lyrics - I'm Going Away - The Fiery Furnaces

She's gonna get me folked up, fairly beat 

She likes a strong Sangaree that shakes 

for 12 hours at least 

She's gonna get me folked up, fairly beat 

And teach me not to get baited with 

stage whispers like, 

Can anybody turn me on? 

I saw a girl last night called Charmaine 

Champagne 

She wasn't an ex-so and so, not from 

Times Square 

But she went to Johnny Romero's till it 

was too hot to handle 

And she's got nothing to show for it; no 

money, no love 

But she could always tell you the squarest 

thing there on the jukebox 

She could always sing you the squarest 

thing on the jukebox baby 

She's gonna get me folked up, fairly beat 

She likes a strong Sangaree that shakes 

for 12 hours at least 

She's gonna get me folked up, fairly beat 

And teach me not to get baited with 

stage whispers like, 

Can anybody turn me on? 

I saw that girl again last night called 

Charmaine Champagne 

I said show me how to make all those 

cups and punches 

We went to Johnny Romero's till it was 

too hot to handle 

They said we had to get a quarter pound 

of peach leaves on a dry and sunny day 

And she showed me the squarest thing 

on the jukebox 

Then sang me the squarest thing on the 

jukebox baby 

She's gonna get me folked up, fairly beat 

She likes a strong Sangaree that shakes 

for 12 hours at least 

She's gonna get me folked up, fairly beat 

And teach me not to get baited with 

stage whispers like, 

Can anybody turn me on?
