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 school
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 queen of the senior prom
She could cook just like her mom
She had everything at sea
Pure delight, this teenage queen
Pure delight, 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
Who worked 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 cars
Swimming pool and a fence around
But she missed her old hometown
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 this 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
Left it all and caught a train
Next day she was at the door
Of the lonely boy next door
Who works at the candy store
Now this story has some more
You'll hear it all at the candy store
You'll hear it all at the candy store
