Prettiest girl we've ever seen
Now this story has some more
But she missed her old hometown
How those eyes could flash at you
Boys hung 'round her by the score
Who worked at the candy store
Not a care this teenage queen
Who worked at the candy store
You should be a movie queen
Swimming pool and a fence around
Do I have to tell you more
See you on the movie screen
Working at the candy store
But she missed her old hometown
Dream on, dream on teenage queen
Came to town to take her out
But she loved the boy next door
She had everything it seemed
Left it all and caught a train
Came to town to take her out
Not a care this teenage queen
Then one day the teenage star
Left it all and caught a train
Other boys could offer more
Who worked at the candy store
Hollywood could offer more
She was tops in all they said
Pretty house and shiny car
Dream on, dream on teenage queen
He would marry her next spring
It never once went to her head
Gave up all her wealth and fame
Saddest girl we've ever seen
Golden hair and eyes of blue
Dream on, dream on teenage queen
Saved his money bought a ring
Dream on, dream on teenage queen
Then one day a movie scout
She came back to the boy next door
But she loved the boy next door
Who worked at the candy store
Very soon she was a star
All the world was at her door
All except the boy next door
So she left the boy next door
Sold her house and all her cars
