The song's lyrics suggest that the titular Carla refers to (or was inspired by) drummer Carla Azar. Azar was the drummer for the band Ednaswap, with whom Weezer toured in support of No Doubt in 1997.
Lyrics
She was the drummer in Ednaswap
And after all, she got what she wants
...
...
It's good to see a smile on your face
She'll ask you if you want to come to her place
That's where she belongs
Cartoons on the wall
And she doesn't need anybody at all
Little Carla, happy at last
Little Carla, happy at last
...
...
In her hot-pink stretch pants
Little Carla, happy at last
She'll take you out to a punk rock show
It's fun to see a band with people you know
She...
...
Someday she may have a family of her own
You never know if that's the way things go
...
...
And she doesn't need anybody at all
Little Carla, happy at last
Little Carla, happy at last
...
...
Little Carla, happy at last
In her hot-pink stretch pants
Little Carla, happy at last
