Leonard Cohen - So Long Marianne lyrics

You, Lynyrd Skynyrd hat,

And me little kitty.

Sat across with a velvet jacket,

Wild orange hair and dark dark eyes.

I gawked, like a twelve year old smitten.

Carla the stripper,

Strait from L.A.

"You seem cool for a naked chick in a booth,

Lets be pals some day".

In other words:

"Put some clothes on and call me"

(chorus)

I saw you,

It was incredible.

Slim, relaxed, unwind at the QFC

On a snowy saturday night.

Black pearls and i swear you were drinking beer,

You were the redhead behind the counter there.

I'm the one who fell out of his chair there,

You had your dry cleaning and i think you're dreamy.

(chorus)

I saw you,

It was incredible.

Mumbled these words at you,

Unintelligeble.

Ma ma ma ma

Ma ma ma mama ma ma

Hey, um, hey what time is it?
