picked first prize for carnival queen
and now she takes her clothes off
collects the covers off her magazines
she longs to be another teenage dream
the problem is she's turning forty three
she still takes her clothes off
she got the nick name porta bubble joan
they found her dead dead as nails at home
and she said i'm gonna be another marilyn
bleach my hair and get real thin
and everybody's gonna wanna dance with me
she loved to have her little fantasies
she longed to be the wife of jimmy dean
but jimmys head sits in jimmys knees
she loves to take her clothes off
police are looking around at twenty three
they found her hanging from her swollen
feet they saw her dance last in woolworth
street
she loved to take her clothes off
she got the nick name porta bubble joan
they found her dead dead as nails at home
and she said i'm gonna be another marilyn
bleach my hair and get real thin
and everybody's gonna wanna dance with me
everybody wants to be the carnival queen
everybody wants to be the carnival
king or queen
we all read the books
she takes her clothes off one by one
off again
