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

boys hung 'round her by the score

but she loved the boy next door who worked at the candy store

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

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 working at the candy store

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

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
