  • Judy Teen, the queen of the scene, she's rag doll amore
    Verbal slang, American twang, you dare not ignore
    In from New York, prompted her to talk of superballs
    Judy Teen grew sick of the scene, just bragging to fools

    She took us on a carousel
    She made us smile and oh, how we laughed
    Together riding on a crest it was swell
    We stole her face and oh, how we laughed
    She made us happy

    Sacral blues in various hues, she capered to draw me
    Me and Yankie, all hanky panky, seldom she bored me
    She's so bold and me feeling old, just stroking her face
    Super troubadour, he can show you more than her lace

    She took us on the carousel
    She made us smile and oh, how we laughed
    Together riding on a crest it was swell
    We stole her face and oh, how we laughed
    She made us happy

    Judy Teen, we know where you've been, your ego's insane
    To the cabaret where you'd schlep and sway on your cane
    Seeking shelter, no helter skelter's gonna betray yer
    Judy Teen, the queen of the scene, is coming to slay yer

    She took us on the carousel
    She made us smile and oh, how we laughed
    Together riding on a crest it was swell
    We stole her face and oh, how we laughed
    She made us happy Writer/s: STEVE HARLEY

    Judy Teen, the queen of the scene, she's rag doll amore
    Verbal slang, American twang, you dare not ignore
    In from New York, prompted her to talk of Superbowls
    Judy Teen grew sick of the scene, just bragging to fools

    She took us on a carousel
    She made us smile and oh, how we laughed
    Together riding on a crest it was swell
    We stole her face and oh, how we laughed
    She made us happy

    Sacral blues in various hues, she capered to draw me
    Me and Yankie, all hanky panky, seldom she bored me
    She's so bold and me feeling old, just stroking her face
    Super troubadour, she can show you more than her lace

    She took us on the carousel
    She made us smile and oh, how we laughed
    Together riding on a crest it was swell
    We stole her face and oh, how we laughed
    She made us happy

    Judy Teen, we know where you've been, your ego's insane
    To the cabaret where you'd schlep and sway on your cane
    Seeking shelter, no helter skelter's gonna betray yer
    Judy Teen, the queen of the scene, is coming to slay yer

    She took us on the carousel
    She made us smile and oh, how we laughed
    Together riding on a crest it was swell
    We stole her face and oh, how we laughed
    She made us happy.
