Sue And Betty Jean Songtext

von Streetwalkers

Betty Jean was a beauty queen from wayback
Miss Flaky Breakfast Corn of 64
She won a prize in cash and a silken sash still intact
That now looks better on the wall than worn
But oo when she's down
She'll drape it around
And saunter around
And she feels better
Long legged Sue revered to be a dancer
Well one day those lights, would hit her name and shine
But a pair of faded tights were a jaded answer
To the memory of ten years of chorus lines
But when things go wrong
The old man and kids gone
She'll just slip them on
And she feels better.

It can never really bring back all those years again
But it saves the tears
Enhances their dances
Brings back romances.

Well now Sue and Betty Jean both had their dreams of course
Which got lost inside of men and kids and the chores
nd those faded tights and silken sash might well be what they wore
But if it makes the dream come true the memory serves the cure
So if things seem wrong
They'll just slip them on
And their lives carry on
But they feel better.
