(DAream on, dream on, tDeenage qAueen, prDettiest gAirl we've eEver sAeen).
There's a story Din our tAown
Of the prettiest gEirl a-rAound
Golden hair and eDyes of bAlue
How those eyes could flEash at yAou
(How those eyes could flEash at yAou)
BDoys hung round her Aby the score
But she loved the bEoy next dAoor, who worked at the cEandy stAore
(DAream on, dream on, tDeenage qAueen, prDettiest gAirl we've eEver sAeen).
She was tops in aDll they sAaid
It never once went tEo her hAead
She had every-thDing it seAems
Not a care, this teEenage quAeen
(Not a care, this teEenage quAeen)
ODther boys could oAffer more
But she loved the bEoy next dAoor, who worked at the cEandy stAore
(Dream on, dream on, teDenage quAeen, yDou should Abe a mEovie quAeen).
He would marry hDer next spAring
Saved his money, bEought a rAing
Then one day a moDvie sAcout
Came to town to tEake her oAut
(Came to town to tEake her oAut)
HDollywood could oAffer more
So she left the bEoy next dAoor, working at the cEandy stAore
(Dream on, dream on, teDenage quAeen, sDee you Aon the mEovie scrAeen).
Very soon she wDas a sAtar
Pretty house and shEiny cAar
Swimming pool and a fDence a-roAund
But she missed her oEld home tAown
(But she missed her oEld home tAown)
ADll the world was Aat her door
All except the bEoy next doAor, who worked at the caEndy stAore
(Dream on, dream on, teDenage qAueen, saDddest gAirl we've eEver sAeen).
Then one day the tDeenage sAtar
Sold her house and aEll her cAars
Gave up all her weDalth and fAame
Left it all and caEught a trAain
(Left it all and caEught a trAain)
DDo I have to tAell you more
She came back to the bEoy next dAoor, who worked at the cEandy stAore
(Now this story hDas some mAore, you'll hDear it aAll at the caEndy stAore).
