Capo 1

Chorus 1:

A D A

Dream on, Dream on, Teenage Queen

D A E A

Prettiest girl we've ever seen

A D A

There's a story in our town

A E A

Of the prettiest girl around

A D A

Golden hair and eyes of blue

A E A

How those eyes could flash at you

A E A

How those eyes could flash at you

D A

Boys hung around her by the score

A E A

But she loved the boy next door

A E A

Who worked at the candy store

Chorus 1

She was tops in all they said

It never once went to her head

She had ev'rything, it seemed

Not a care, this Teenage Queen

Not a care, this Teenage Queen

Other boys could offer more

But she loved the boy next door

Who worked at the candy store.

Chorus 2:

Dream on, Dream on, Teenage Queen

You should have been a movie queen.

He would marry her next spring

Saved his money and 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

Workin' at the candy store.

Chorus 3:

Dream on, Dream on, Teenage Queen

See you on the movie screen.

Change to key of B – (B, E, F#)

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

All the world was at her door

All except the boy next door

Who worked at the candy store.

Chorus 4:

Dream on, Dream on, Teenage Queen

Saddest girl we've ever seen.

Then one day the 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

Do I have to tell you more

She came back to the boy next door

Who worked at the candy store.

Now this story has some more

You'll hear it all at the candy store.
