MIMI'S DARK EYES

She does what she wants to

She lives like a queen

Sure, sometimes she’s bored

Mimi’s dark eyes…

She lives like a queen

Eats only the best

She does what she pleases

Mimi’s dark eyes

And sometimes when everyone’s busy with Eli

or Perri’s out dancing, Or they leave on vacation

or Paz cookin’ chicken when Jackie’s out shopping

or Steven’s out schmoozing some big time director

She just might get real lonely

And bark at the trash guy

And sometimes when Brad’s here

He just knows where to touch her

And makes her so happy

But don’t tell her boyfriend

Who lives down at Karla’s

Coz Harry get’s jealous and barks like a foghorn

What he don’t know won’t hurt him

And Mimi’s dark eyes

Are closed when she’s dreaming

‘bout skunks and leaf blowers

Who scare off coyotes

Please take me to Karla’s

And when is Brad coming

I just got my bangs cut

And don’t I look gorgeous…

And what’s in the bowl there

She lives like a queen

Mimi’s dark eyes

She lives like a queen

Mimi’s dark eyes

She lives like a queen

Mimi’s dark eyes

She does what she wants to.
