Emily lyrics

Emily's goin' 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, and very boring.

She's listened to his sermon well

Though she's heard the same

One hundred times before.

She's heard them all her lifetime,

But now she's gonna listen anymore.

She's gonna do it today,

She's gonna make it today

She's gonna do it gonna do it gonna do it,

Baby baby.

Emily's goin' out tonight

With a candle in her pocket

A lighter in her right hand.

Does anybody know

Why she's gonna go away?

She's gonna make it today.

She's very friendly and open minded

Always understanding.

Bad behavior she doesn't like at all.

She's very modest, she's never been demanding.

She always followed every rule

Though she didn't even know

What they've been for, oh yeah.

She has followed all her lifetime

But now she's gonna follow anymore.

She's gonna do it today,

She's gonna make it today

She's gonna do it gonna do it gonna do it,

Baby baby.

She's gonna make the world go round and round round round round round

Round and round round round round,

Round and round round round round,

Round and round round round round.

She's gonna make it today,

She's gonna do it gonna do it gonna do it,

Baby baby.

Emily 's goin' out tonight

With a candle in her pocket and

A lighter in her right hand.

Does anybody know why she's gonna go away?

Emily 's goin' out tonight

With a candle in her pocket and

A lighter in her right hand.

Does anybody know why she's gonna go today,

She's gonna go away,

She's gonna go today?

Emily 's goin' 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.
