Karate

1. She doesn't dare go in the place
With those bruises on her face
So she goes through the drive-through
and keeps her sunglasses on.

She didn't know when she married that man
She'd get to know him like the back of his hand
But now she's had enough
And the battle lines are drawn.

[Chorus 1:]
He's in a bar chasin' Cuervo with Tecate
He doesn't know she's been taking Karate
The way she figures it, about July
She'll finally have the belt to match her eye
(Yah!).

2. She's on a mission as the months pass
Five days a week, never misses a class
Now she's up to breaking boards and concrete blocks
(Yah!).

[Chorus 1]

* He stumbled through the door tonight
And started treatin' her up
Well she took one look at him and her training kicked in
And she finally had enough.

[Speak:]
He threw a punch, she spun around
Grabbed his arm and put him on the ground
Grabbed a cuttin' board on his way down
And she kicked it in half.

His knees hit the floor, shin hit a chair
Knocked out his tooth and it flew through the air
Grabbed his head by the back of his hair and slammed him into the fridge.

She landed a left, a right, and then a left
She landed a roundhouse right in his chest
Then a scissor punch upside the head
Broke his nose, swept the leg
Started to fall, and on his way down she took him down the lights went out.

[Chorus 2:]
He's on the floor like he went a round with Rocky
He didn't know she'd been takin' Karate
A hundred bucks says tomorrow night
She's got a brand new belt to match his eye.

* He doesn't dare go in that place
With those bruises on his face
So she goes through the drive-through
With his sunglasses on.
