lyrics

They call her watermelon Karen. She runs a liquor store,
She's a local legend in downtown Baltimore,
She stocks 200 brands of whisky
Knows each one by its smell,
Her pastimes they are drinking,
Singing songs and raising hell,

Oh Karen, who's your best friend now?

Karen she's a beauty, got eyes of sapphire blue,
Rumour says that on her thigh she wears a rose tattoo,
She makes her face up every morning,
Shadowed eyes and powder rouge,
Her lipstick like her lovers,
She will change to match her moods,

Oh Karen, who's your best friend now?

There's a long-suffering husband,
Sitting waiting by the phone,
Knowing sometime late at night
He'll get a call to take her home,
He say's “I know she loves me, I'm certain that she does.
But when the licquor takes her,
There's not room for both of us.”

Oh Karen, who's your best friend now?
