I know a place in Carolina   It's open year round   But only after dark so   Bring your gal and bring your wine   Unwind from your day   Gee, don't you know that you're in for a show   When you go down to Karen's Cafe      I know a place in Carolina   It's open year round   But only after dark so   Bring your gal and bring your wine   Unwind from your day   Gee, don't you know that you're in for a show   When you go down to Karen's Cafe      I've been up, down, all around   Looking for a place to spend my nights   I don't wanna give it away   I don't want everybody crowding up my space but   I believe in sharing when you find a good thing   It's only common sense   Nobody likes to do it alone      It's dark and warm and candlelit   The perfect hideaway   But only if it (shh) stays a secret   Don't be shy, now come on by   Come hear the band play   Gee, don't you know that you're in for a show   When you go down to Karen's Cafe      {Instrumental, and she hums and says "sing it again boys" here}      I've been up, down, all around   Looking for a place to spend my nights   I don't wanna give it away   I don't want everybody crowding up my space but   I believe in sharing when you find a good thing   It's only common sense   (Nobody likes to do it alone)      So if you see my little place in Carolina   Don't tell your mother, brother, sister Sally, or uncle Joe   Just bring your gal and bring your wine   Unwind from your day   Gee, don't you know that your in for a show   when you go, go, go, ohhhhhh   Gee, don't you know that your in for a show   when you go down to Karen's Cafe
