Lyrics The Fiery Furnaces

The Fiery Furnaces

Charmaine Champagne

She's gonna get me folked up, fairly beat

She likes a strong Sangaree that shakes for twelve 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 twelve 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 twelve 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?
