Venus In Blue Jeans
Jimmy Clanton Lyrics
She's Venus in blue jeans
Mona Lisa with a ponytail
She's walkin' talkin' work of art
She's the girl who stole my heart
My Venus in blue jeans
Is the Cinderella I adore
She's my very special angel, too
A fairy tale come true
They say there's seven wonders in the world
But what they say is out of date
There's more than seven wonders in the world
I just met number eight
My Venus in blue jeans
Is ev'rything I hoped she'd be
A teenage goddess from above
And she belongs to me
My Venus in blue jeans
Is ev'rything I hoped she'd be
A teenage goddess from above
And she belongs to me

Although I was born some 30 odd years after this song was released, I grew up with it. My parents taste in music (and mine because of them) is impeccable. I choose this over modern day songs ANY day
