Charmaine Champagne - The Fiery Furnaces

She’s gonna get me folked up, fairly beat

She likes a strong Sangaree that shakes

For 12 hours at least

She’s gonna get me folked up, fairly beat

And teach me not to get baited with

Stage whispers like

Can anybody turn me on?

I saw a girl last night called Charmaine

Champagne

She wasn’t an ex-so and so, not from

Times Square

But she went to Johnny Romero’s till it

Was too hot to handle

And she’s got nothing to show for it;

no

Money, no love

But she could always tell you the squarest

Thing there on the jukebox

She could always sing you the squarest

Thing on the jukebox baby

She’s gonna get me folked up, fairly beat

She likes a strong Sangaree that shakes

For 12 hours at least

She’s gonna get me folked up, fairly beat

And teach me not to get baited with

Stage whispers like

Can anybody turn me on?

I saw that girl again last night called

Charmaine Champagne

I said show me how to make all those

Cups and punches

We went to Johnny Romero’s till it was

Too hot to handle

They said we had to get a quarter pound

Of peach leaves on a dry and sunny day

And she showed me the squarest thing

On the jukebox

Then sang me the squarest thing on the

Jukebox baby

She’s gonna get me folked up, fairly beat

She likes a strong Sangaree that shakes

For 12 hours at least

She’s gonna get me folked up, fairly beat

And teach me not to get baited with

Stage whispers like

Can anybody turn me on?
