lyrics

Well she told me her name was Kelli Jo
And there wasn't a single song she didn't know
She loved her vinyl, she loved her 80's glam
I was delighted to find there was no ring on her hand

Lovely Kelli Jo
Lovely Kelli
Where did you come from?

When she came walking right into my record store
My feet would tingle, my heard would soar
One day I gave her a T-Rex Limited Edition
Was I in love? Or just ignoring my intuition

Lovely Kelli Jo
Lovely Kelli
Where did you come from?

Dinner at her place, come around about five
How could I know that by 5:30
I would no longer be alive?

I stopped the album
As she was pouring the wine
That was a problem
I should have noticed the signs

"What have you done?!"
She said to me by the door
She held a record to my throat
My head rolled across the floor

Deadly Kelli Jo
Deadly Kelli
Where did you come from?

Well, I'm sorry, Kelli Jo
What can I say?
She said, "Kelli Jo ain't here,
My name is Kelli Rae!"

Lovely Kelli Jo
Deadly Kelli Rae
