Fool's Garden The Principle Thing Emily Emily's going out tonight, With a candle in her pocket and A lighter in her right hand, Does anybody know Why's 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 had 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 sam one hundred times before She's heard them all her lifetime, But now she's not gonna listen anymore. 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 and open minded- Always understanding Bad behaviours, 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 not gonna follow anymore. Emily's going out tonight... sallysally@usa.net |
