文本歌词

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
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
round and round )
She's gonna 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
Emily's going out tonight
With a candle in her pocket and
A lighter in her right hand
Does anybody know
Where she's gonna go today
She's gonna go away
She's gonna go today
Emily's going out tonight
With a candle in her pocket and
A lighter in her right hand
Does anybody know
Where she's gonna go
Se's nearly out of sight
Emily's out tonight
