Ballad Of A Teenage Queen

Lyrics

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
 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
 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
 Hollywood could offer more
 So she left the boy next door
 who worked 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
 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
 Do I have to tell you more
 She came back to the boy next door
 who worked at the candy store
 (Should this story have some more,
 you'll hear it all at the candy store)
