Dark Karen (Don't Ask For The Manager)

Verse 1

The comment card she filled out first is dated three summers back

One burger, wrong order, extra pickles she did not ask for

The corporate hotline has her case logged open, never closed

Every district manager since has vanished through that door

Pre-Chorus

The first one's car was in the lot three days after he disappeared

The second one's name tag turned up in the walk-in, frost around the pin

Corporate sends a replacement fast, faster than they've ever done

Nobody at the register asks the new one where he's been

Chorus

Ask for the manager, whoever's left today

The name tag changes weekly but she's never turned away

Five managers, one complaint, still open on the file

The freezer log shows extra weight, and she just sits and smiles

Verse 2

The break room wall has photos pinned, Employee of the Month

Six faces now, six different names, six months in a row

The walk-in inventory sheet lists more than what's for sale

Nobody currently on shift will go down there alone

Pre-Chorus

The regional office sent someone down to sit in on her call

Recorded every word she said, professional, polite, precise

His rental car was found abandoned at the county line

Corporate closed the file, didn't ask us twice

Chorus

Ask for the manager, whoever's left today

The name tag changes weekly but she's never turned away

Five managers, one complaint, still open on the file

The freezer log shows extra weight, and she just sits and smiles

Bridge

They tried closing the store on the day she said she'd come

Boarded up the windows, cut the power, changed the code

Monday morning the lights were on, the walk-in freezer full

And someone new was standing there to hear the story told

Verse 3

Corporate flew a mediator in to finally close the case

Sat across from her politely, folder open on his knee

He asked what resolution she was looking for at last

She smiled and said she'd know it when she'd see

Solo

Chorus

Ask for the manager, whoever's left today

The name tag changes weekly but she's never turned away

Five managers, one complaint, still open on the file

The freezer log shows extra weight, and she just sits and smiles

Outro

Ask for the manager, whoever's left today
