Donna's
Honeydogs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Donna's seven
Alone until eleven
Waiting, waiting
Spider webs in the corner
Does anyone adore her?
Fly in water youngest daughter
Get it right now, Donna, get it right
We're waiting patiently for you
The coffee can beneath the sink
Night time holds her mother's urine stink
Donna's seven
Donna's seven
Alone until eleven
Donna's seven
The Honeydogs' song Donna's Seven seems to tell the story of a young girl named Donna, who is alone until eleven at night, waiting for something or someone. The repetition of the phrase "Donna's seven" emphasizes her age, perhaps suggesting her vulnerability and innocence. The image of spider webs in the corner and the question "Does anyone adore her?" create a sense of neglect and isolation. Donna may be the youngest daughter, as indicated by the line "Fly in water youngest daughter," reinforcing her vulnerability.
The chorus "Get it right now, Donna, get it right/We're waiting patiently for you" is more ambiguous. It could be interpreted as encouragement or pressure, depending on what Donna is waiting for. The line "The coffee can beneath the sink/Night time holds her mother's urine stink" is particularly striking in its starkness and unpleasantness, suggesting a difficult living situation for Donna.
Overall, the song seems to express empathy for the loneliness and struggles of a young girl, while also leaving some room for interpretation and speculation about the specific circumstances.
