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.
Chorus: 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.
Chorus: 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.
Chorus: 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.
Chorus: 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
Chorus: Now this story has some more, you'll hear it all at the candy store.
