| Karaoke Girl |
| by Steve Barker |
| She sings karaoke
In Chinatown On weeknights From ABBA to Blondie Poison to Queen To Michael Jackson She dresses like 1958 Has bangs like Betty Paige Her hips say she never went to prom And her star tattoos says Her first kiss was at 21 That’s ten years behind her Now she sips whiskey Sings Bohemian Rhapsody And dances and cheers For everybody Even those miles from the right key She follows guys like me Out for cigarettes She tells me it’s my turn to get on stage And doesn’t hear it when I say I’m no good First thought is Betty’s hitting on me When I got Marilyn at home But she’s not interested in a boy like me She loves Johnny Depp and Cash She writes them love letters That never get sent Stained with whiskey and tears She doesn’t take no for an answer and drags me on stage We sing Robert Palmer “Addicted to Love” She makes me dance with her and doesn’t laugh When my voice cracks And I don’t care about the three other people Eating noodles and drinking Sapporos The song ends I buy her a Whiskey and Coke And she promises to get the next round Then she’s called up to the stage The MC turns down the light As if this has happened a million times before The music starts and the world is hers |
