Carlene Lyrics - Phil Vassar - Phil Vassar

I was lousy at math, failed historian 

Carlene was the valedictorian 

I was quarter back in the back of classes 

She was the whiz kid in horned rim glasses 

Its been a long time since Ive 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 dont remember, I guess its been forever" 

It took a second to put it all together and I said 

Ooh la la la la la looking good Carlene 

Woh my my my my my times 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 lets 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 I 

Finally got a couple out on country radio" 

She said, "What a switch, ain't life funny 

Ive got a P H D now Im modeling for money" 

Imagine little miss 4.0 just smiling for the camera on the cover of vogue 

I said, "Youve come a long way since graduation" 

Let me say without reservatition 

Youve surpassed everyones expectations now 

Ooh la la la la la looking good Carlene 

Woh my my my my my times been good to you 

If you know that 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 my mommas at eight 

And I said 

Ooh la la la la la looking good Carlene 

Woh my my my my my times been good to you 

If you know that I mean 

Ooh la la la la la looking good Carlene 

Woh my my my my my times been good to you 

If you know what I mean 

Ooh la la la la la looking good Carlene 

Woh my my my my my times been good to you 

If you know what I mean 

Alright, Carlene you're lookin' good baby 

Alright
