Karen Zoid Records Knysna Lyricist
“If you had told me 2 years ago that Karen Zoid would record one of my songs, I would have laughed. I’m laughing now, and smiling and laughing once more. The cherry on top was to hear my song on the radio for the first time, on an RSG programme called Befonk.”
Knysna’s Bruno Andries composed the lyrics for ‘Bonnie and Clyde’ after watching the movie of the same name. He began with the chorus, filled in the spaces between and entered it into the Sing It competition which was run by Litnet. Not only was he one of the deserving winners but had Karen Zoid chose his song for recording.

BONNIE AND CLYDE
She’s a woman so complex and mystic
I can’t figure her out, all the clues are cryptic
She always keeps me on my toes
she makes heads turn wherever she goes
She dances with an orchid in her hair
she’s my Ginger Rogers, and I’m her Fred Astaire
CHORUS:
She smiles like the Mona Lisa
but she kisses like Sharon Stone
she’s my own fatal attraction
’cause I can’t leave her alone
We take everything in our stride
she’s my Bonnie and I am her Clyde
She’s sometimes fact and sometimes fiction
she’s my one and only true addiction
She takes her Martini stirred or shaken
her perfume is called Angel, but don’t be mistaken
She’s all I want, nothing more.
but she isn’t an angel, that’s for sure
CHORUS:
She smiles like the Mona Lisa
but she kisses like Sharon Stone
she’s my own fatal attraction
’cause I can’t leave her alone
We take everything in our stride
she’s my Bonnie and I am her Clyde
The very first time I met her
I already knew I’d never forget her
Her blue jeans and smile did all the talking
her legs were long and made for walking
With her by my side, I’ll go to any war
if I ever rob a bank, she must drive the getaway car
CHORUS:
She smiles like the Mona Lisa
but she kisses like Sharon Stone
she’s my own fatal attraction
’cause I can’t leave her alone
We take everything in our stride
she’s my Bonnie and I am her Clyde
