Carlene

Phil Vassar

Ooh

I was lousy at math, a failed historian
Carlene was the valedictorian
And I was quarter back in the back of the classes
She was the whiz kid in horned rim glasses

Been a long time since I've been around
Since I stepped foot on my old stomping ground
I ended up by the old school yard
And this red head pulled up in a blue sports car
And said, "I bet you don't remember
I guess it's been forever"
It took a second to put it all together 

I said, ooh-la-la-la-la-la
Looking good, Carlene
Oh, 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, Carlene 
You sure are lookin good

And she said hop in, let's go for a spin
Tell me whatcha been doing boy, and where you been
I said I write songs, you probably didn't know
And finally got a couple out on country radio

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

Now ooh-la-la-la-la-la
Looking good, Carlene
Oh, 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, Carlene 
You sure are lookin good

I said I hope to see you again someday
She said another ten years is too long to wait
And pick me up at my Momma's at eight!

I said, ooh-la-la-la-la-la
Looking good, Carlene
Oh, my, my, my, my, my
Time has been good to you
If you know what I mean

Ooh-la-la-la-la-la
Looking good, Carlene
Oh, my, my, my, my, my
Time has been good to you
If you know what I mean

Alright
Ooh
Alright, looking good, Carlene
Looking good, Carlene
Ooh…ooh
