Looking Glass Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ya know she won first-place in show
It's only right
She looks best in blue
And even if she blows my horn
Why it's just to let me know
It ain't right
If I call ya in the mornin'
If I call on ya now
Oh Jenny-Lynne
Let me in
Jenny-Lynne
Let me in
Oh Jenny-Lynne
I moved in from the city
Just a mile from where she lives
How'd it do?
Honey I'm new here
The countryside's so pretty
We ought to use what nature gives
Ain't it true?
Get it through
C'mon get it through, yeah
Can I go to the bar
To the bar, with you now?
Jenny-Lynne
Let me in
Jenny-Lynne
The Roman runs the county farm and
He's got his eyes on me
It's alright
It ain't nothing new
But he'd tie my hide up on the barn
If he found me here with you
So goodnight
I must bid adieu
Out the door down the hall
In my all-in-all
Jenny-Lynne
Thanks again
Jenny-Lynne
Thanks again
The song "Jenny-Lynne" by Looking Glass is about a man who is romantically interested in a woman named Jenny-Lynne. The opening lines of the song describe some of Jenny-Lynne's impressive qualities - she drives a brand-new unicorn (which could be a reference to a fancy car) and has won first place in a show. The singer notes that Jenny-Lynne looks best in blue, but also acknowledges that she may only be using him by "blowing his horn" to get attention.
The singer then asks Jenny-Lynne to "let him in", suggesting that he wants to take their relationship to the next level. He mentions that he has recently moved to the countryside and wants to explore the area with her. However, there is a potential obstacle in the form of a character named Roman who runs the county farm and has his eyes on the singer. The song ends with the singer saying goodbye to Jenny-Lynne and thanking her for their time together.
Overall, the song is about a man who has fallen for a woman whom he finds intriguing and desirable, but is unsure if the feeling is mutual. The song has a cheerful, upbeat melody that contrasts with some of the more melancholy lyrics, which adds to its appeal.

You know she drives a brand-new unicorn
She drives a fancy car
Ya know she won first-place in show
She's very accomplished
It's only right
It's expected

The local authoritative figure likes to monitor and would not approve of us being together, therefore we must say goodbye
