Miss Marlene Lyrics

Back in double-oh-seven
Miss M was queen
She could roll like a pro rolls
When she was seventeen
Whether straight or hammered
She was the best in town
When she release the red ball
All the pins fall down

Can't you hear the b**** rumble
Can't you hear the b**** rumble
Miss Marlene - we're still bowling
Every Saturday night

You move to the lane child
Played on my heartstrings
With you long skinny legs child
And your hoop earrings
When the stakes were sky-high
That's when you'd always shine
The ball would ride a moonbeam
Down the inside line
Can't you hear the b**** rumble
Can't you hear the b**** rumble
Miss Marlene - we're still bowling
Every Saturday night

And then one night
Something came apart
You were throwin' back Hurricanes
And we knew someone
Had played with your heart

You ran into the dark street
At University Place
The cab came up so fast then
We saw your laughin' face
Can't you hear the b**** rumble
Can't you hear the b**** rumble
Miss Marlene - we're still bowling
Every Saturday night

Sometimes on a league night
I catch her scent again
Her hand guiding my hand
We drop the seven-ten

Can't you hear the b**** rumble
Can't you hear the b**** rumble
Miss Marlene - we're still bowling
Every Saturday night
