Ballad of a Teenage Queen |
| There’s a story in our town |
| Of the prettiest girl around |
| Golden hair and eyes of blue |
| How those eyes could flash at you (How those eyes could flash at you) |
| Boys hung 'round her by the score |
| But she loved the boy next door who worked at the candy store |
| (Dream on, dream on teenage queen prettiest girl we’ve ever seen) |
| She was tops in all they said |
| It never once went to her head |
| She had everything it seems |
| Not a care, this teenage queen (Not a care, this teenage queen) |
| Other boys could offer more |
| But she loved the boy next door who worked at the candy store |
| (Dream on, dream on teenage queen you should be a movie queen) |
| He would marry her next spring |
| Saved his money, bought a ring |
| Then one day a movie scout |
| Came to town to take her out (Came to town to take her out) |
| Hollywood could offer more |
| So she left the boy next door working at the candy store |
| (Dream on, dream on teenage queen see you on the movie screen) |
| Very soon she was a star |
| Pretty house and shiny car |
| Swimming pool and a fence around |
| But she missed her old home town (But she missed her old home town) |
| All the world was at her door |
| All except the boy next door who worked at the candy store |
| (Dream on, dream on teenage queen saddest girl we’ve ever seen) |
| Then one day the teenage star |
| Sold her house and all her cars |
| Gave up all her wealth and fame |
| Left it all and caught a train (Left it all and caught a train) |
| Do I have to tell you more |
| She came back to the boy next door who worked at the candy store |
| (Now this story has some more, you’ll hear it all at the candy store) |
