  • Carlene by Phil Vassar Lyrics



    1st Verse

    I was lousy at math, a failed historian
    Carlene was the valedictorian, and I was
    Quarterback in the back of the class, as
    She was the whiz kid in the horned-rim glasses

    2nd Verse

    Been a long time since I'd been around
    Since I set a foot on my old stompin' ground
    I ended up by the ol' school yard
    And this redhead pulls up in a blue sports car, and says
    "I'll bet you don't remember, I guess it's been forever"
    It took a second to put it all together, I said

    Chorus

    Ooh, la la la la la, lookin' good, Carlene
    Whoa, my my my my my, time has been good to you
    (If) you know what I mean
    (And) girl you glitter like Hollywood
    Good God (gosh), Carlene, you sure are lookin' good

    3rd Verse

    She said, "Hop in, let's go for a spin
    Tell me what you been doin' boy, and where you've been"
    I said, "I write songs, you prob'ly didn't know
    And I finally got a couple out on country radio"

    4th Verse

    She said, "What a switch, ain't life funny
    I got a Ph.D, now I'm modelin' for money
    Imagine little Miss 4.0 just
    Smilin' for the camera on the cover of Vogue"
    I said, "(You've) come a long way since graduation
    Let me say without reservation
    You've surpassed everyone's expectations, now"

    (Repeat Chorus)

    Bridge

    I said, "I hope to see you again someday"
    She said, "Another ten years is too long to wait
    Pick me up at my mama's at eight"
    I said...

    (Chorus Out)
