Dickey Lee Ballad Of A Teenage Queen lyrics

(Dream on, dream on, teenage queen
Prettiest girl we've ever seen)
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
(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 seemed
Not a care this teenage queen
(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
(Came to town to take her out)


Hollywood could offer more
So she left the boy next door
Working 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 hometown
(But she missed her old hometown)

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
(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
(Now this story has some more
You'll hear it all at the candy store)
