lyrics
Hobo Doreen, my panhandling queen
She was the prettiest bag lady I´d ever seen
She´s a wine-chuggin´, whisky-bottle-huggin´
Diamond of this rough scene
She´s always wandering round bringing men to the ground
With a bat of her eyes and an “I´ve got no place to stay tonight”
She´s too brittle to break
She´s too little to shake
She´s a bit of a rake
But she´s the belle of the motel
Hobo Doreen, she don´t say what she means
But she means as she does and she does as she pleases
She´s a pain in your ascot
And a rat in your haute cuisine (don´t you know better)
With her eyes so forlorn
She´s too cute to be borne
You can only adore and adorn her
Doreen, Doreen
Oh she struts just like a movie queen
Doreen, Doreen
Oh she´ll flash that ivory to cash that green
Doreen, Doreen, Doreen, Doreen
Don´t let her in your limousine
Hobo Doreen, she ain´t fresh, she ain´t clean
But her eau de pheromone will have you moanin´ like strychnine
She´s a traffic-stoppin´, boxer-short-droppin´ sweet piece of seventeen
She´s always messin´ around, bringing uptown downtown
First you´re up, then you´re down til your stuff is nowhere to be found
And you´re flat on the floor as she flits out the door
But you know she´s much more than a whore
She´s a tiger, she´s a mouse
She´ll eat everything in your house
She´s your joy, she´s your grief
Got the eyes of a saint and the paws of a thief
She´s your heaven, she´s your hell
But she´ll drain you down to your wishing well
She´s your princess, your muse
But she´ll blow out your fuse
She´s your fire, she´s your ice
But it comes at a price
And I´m talking Bergdorf´s, not Filene´s
Cause she´s Doreen, Doreen
Oh she fucks just like another kinda movie queen
Doreen, Doreen
Hide your watch, your wedding ring, and your Vicadin
Doreen, Doreen, Doreen, Doreen
Don´t let her in your limousine
Don´t let her in your limousine
You can run, you can hide
You can beg, you can cry
You can call the authorities
But you´ll always go home with Doreen

Meaghan Burke is a Brooklyn-based cellist, singer, and songwriter of many hats. She can be found playing with The Rhythm Method string quartet, Forever House, Loose Lips Sink Ships, The Gene, Dead Language, and various other outfits.
Megafauna is, hands-down, one of the most electrifying rock bands out there with a visceral, zany, wildly creative approach to songwriting. They will rock your socks off. Meaghan Burke
My avant-grunge band is finally releasing its debut album, and it’s a glorious romp, by turns noisey and tender, through the wreckage of late capitalism. Meaghan Burke
Looking forward to seeing them live! Spectacular album. Saw them play at Open Ears in 2020 (virtually, thanks to the pandemic). Excellent record! Mohan Thomas
The instrumental ensemble Dt/IG straddles the line between folk and classical, stirring acoustics augmented by sumptuous arrangements. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 29, 2023
