KARAOKE QUEEN (EDIT) Dec. 4/04 Karl Rigelhof

9 to 5
Working just to survive
The boss is a jerk
But she needs the work
To make ends meet

She's a slave to the grind
And she's going out of her mind
Waiting for a time
Hoping one day to find
A way out

BRIDGE 1:
When she's on the stage
The music playing loud
Hear the roaring of the crowd
Under the flashing lights
Night after night
Every night

CHORUS:
She's a karaoke queen
And she's living her dream
She just wants to sing, sing, sing
Karaoke

9 till closing time
She hits the bars
She doesn't need to be a star
But she'll give it her best shot
With all she's got

CHORUS:
Karaoke queen
And she's living her dream
She just wants to sing, sing, sing

BRIDGE 2:
She's not a country diva
Or a heavy metal sheba
She's not a disco girl
She can rock your world
Ain't no R & B'r
But you've just got to see her
She's got a lot of soul
She's all this and more

(LEAD)

BRIDGE 1

CHORUS:
She's a karaoke queen
And she's living her dream
She just wants to sing
Karaoke queen
Living her dream
She just wants to sing, sing
She just wants to sing, sing, sing
Karaoke
