I was lousy at math, a failed historian
Carlene was the valedictorian
I was the quarterback in the back of the class
She was the whiz kid in the horned-rimmed glasses
It'd been a long time since I'd been around
Since I'd set foot on my old stomping ground
I ended up by the old schoolyard
And this redhead pulls up in a blue sports car and says
'I'll bet you don't remember, I guess it's been forever'
It took a second to put it all together, I said
Oo-la-la-la-la-la lookin' good Carlene
Oh-my-my-my-my-my time's been good to you
If you know what I mean, girl you glitter like Hollywood
Good God Carlene, you sure are lookin' good
She said, 'Hop in, let's go for a spin
Tell me what you been doing boy, and where you been'
I said, 'I write songs, you probably didn't know
I finally got a couple on country radio'
She said, 'What a switch, ain't it funny
I've got a PHD., Now I'm modeling for money
Imagine little miss four point o
Smiling for the camera on the cover of Vogue'
I said, 'You've come long way since graduation
Let me say without reservation
You've surpassed everyone's expectations'
Oo-la-la-la-la-la lookin' good Carlene
Oh-my-my-my-my-my time's been good to you
If you know what I mean, girl you glitter like Hollywood
Good God Carlene, you sure are lookin' good
I said, 'I hope to see you again someday'
She said, 'Another ten years is too long to wait
Pick me up at my Mama's at eight,' I said
Oo-la-la-la-la-la lookin' good Carlene
Oh-my-my-my-my-my time's been good to you
If you know what I mean, girl you glitter like Hollywood
Good God Carlene, you sure are lookin' good
