Ballad of a Teenage Queen
Ê
(A)There's a story (D)in our (A)town,
Of the prettiest (E)girl a(A)round,
Golden hair and (D)eyes of (A)blue,
How those eyes could (E)flash at (A)you,
(D)Boys hung around her (A)by the score,
But she loved the (E)boy next (A)door,
Who worked at the (E)candy (A)store,
Ê
She was tops in (D)all they (A)said,
It never once went (E)to her (A)head,
She had every(D)thing it (A)seemed,
Not a care this (E)teenage (A)queen,
(D)Other boys could (A)offer more,
But she loved the (E)boy next (A)door,
Who worked at the (E)candy (A)store,
Ê
He would marry (D)her next (A)spring,
Saved his money, (E)bought a (A)ring,
Then one day a (D)movie (A)scout,
Came to town to (E)take her (A)out,
(D)Hollywood could (A)offer more,
So she left the (E)boy next (A)door,
Who worked at the (E)candy (A)store,
Ê
Ê
Ê
Very soon she (D)was a (A)star,
Pretty house and (E)shining (A)car,
Swimming pool and a (D)fence a(A)round,
But she missed her (E)old home(A)town,
(D)All the world was (A)at her door,
All except the (E)boy next (A)door,
Who worked at the (E)candy (A)store,
Ê
Then one day the (D)teenage (A)star,
Sold her house and (E)all her (A)cars,
Gave up all her (D)wealth and (A)fame,
Left it all and (E)caught a (A)train,
(D)Do I have to (A)tell you more?
She came back to the (E)boy next (A)door,
Who worked at the (E)candy (A)store.
