Emily`s going out tonight
with a candle in her pocket and
a lighter in her right hand.
Does anybody know
why she`s gonna go?
She`s nearly out of sight.
Emily`s out tonight.
So familiar,
how ladylike the old girl comes along.
She`s ninety something,
dressed up and wide awake.
A little slow, but going strong.
She`s paid off the overdraft
for the TV she has bought in 84.
She`s been paying all her lifetime,
but now she`s gonna pay no more.
Deep religious,
she went to mass on every Sunday morning.
She`s believing
in God but she don`t like
the priest (he`s new in town – and very boring).
She`s listened to his sermon well
though she`s heard the same one hundred times before.
She`s heard them all her lifetime,
but now she`s gonna listen anymore.
She`s gonna do it today, she`s going make it today
she`s gonna do it, gonna do it, gonna do it.
Emily`s going out tonight
with a candle in her pocket and
a lighter in her right hand.
Does anybody know
why she`s gonna go away?
She`s gonna make it today.
She`s very friendly,
an open minded and always understanding.
Bad behavior
she doesn`t like at all.
She`s very modest, she`s never been demanding.
She`s always followed every rule,
though she didn`t even know what they`ve been for.
She has followed all her lifetime,
but now she`s gonna follow anymore.
She`s gonna do it today, she`s gonna make it today
she`s gonna do it, gonna do it, gonna do it right now.
She`s going make the world go round (and round and round...)
she`s gonna make it today...
She`s gonna do it, gonna do it, gonna do it.
