Last night they held a beauty contest,
And crowned my girl the best.
She was voted The Teen Queen of the Week,
Now she won't even speak to me.
Teen Queen of the Week,
Success went to her head.
Nominated The Starlet of the Month,
Hasn't got the time of day for me.
Starlet of the Month,
I wish that I was dead.
Yeah-eh-eh-eh, popularity, a-you've got it,
The whole, darn world, your balloon.
I'll be your flunky, a-your dream monkey,
While the organ grinder calls the tune.
I'm elected the Prize Fool of the Year,
'Cause I'll stay waitin' here for you,
Teen Queen of the Week,
Till you finally stop for me.
(La-la-la, la, la, la, la-la-la-la.)
(La-la-la, la, la, la, la-la-la-la.)
(La-la-la, la, la, la, la-la-la-la.)
(La-la la, la la la.)
