Your daddy has been looking
while mammy stayed inside
and if you ever show up
before the morninglight
ev'rything that's said and done
is not your point of view
You stayed the whole night through
with your friend Jeany
teenage queenie

You may be goodlooking
but you don't know how to be
your wardrobe's always empty
and no'one 'll ever see
You've been growing for some time
had lovers quite a few
now all you ever do
is being dreamy
teenage queenie

Teenage queenie, you're lost ev'ry night
and your mammy's worried
your daddy's uptight
Teenage queenie, you still gotta grow
But if you wanna be free
it's a long way to go!

You like to hear the music
dance on the beat
wher'ever it goes slowly
it's not your kind of speed
Your sister has been seeing you
in some big shining car
He owned the bar
a fellah called Rossini
