Emily

(hinkel / freudenthaler)



Emily's going out tonight

With a candle in her pocket and

A lighter in her right hand

Does anybody know

Why she's gonna go

She's nearly out of sight

Emily's out tonight



So familiar

How ladylike the old girl comes along

She's ninety something,

Dressed up and wide awake

A little slow but going strong

She's paid off the overdraft

For the tv she has bought in 84

She's been paying all her lifetime

But now she's gonna pay no more



Deep religious

She went to mess on every sunday morning

She's believing

In god but she don't like

The priest he's new in town
