Lyric 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 ¨C 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

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 away
She s gonna make it today

She s very friendly
and open minded always understanding
Bad behaviour
she doesn t like at all
She s very modest, she s never been demanding
She s always followed every rule
though she didn t even know what they ve been for
She has followed all her lifetime
But now she s gonna follow anymore

Emily s going out tonight...
