Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Little girl, do you know what I mean?
Pretty soon, she'll be 17
They tell me her name's Mary-Jean, rock 'n roll party queen
Friday night 'n she's got a date,
Goin' places just for stayin' out late
Droppin' dimes in the record machine,
Rock 'n roll party queen
Baby baby, can I be the one, to love you
With all of my might?
She's the girl that all the kids love,
They talk about her, wherever she goes I could write
A fan magazine about my rock 'n roll party queen
La la la rock 'n roll party queen
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, rock 'n roll party queen
Pa pa pa pa, you should see her shake
Baby baby, don't you call it puppy luck,
Don't you want a true romance?
Rockin' and rollin', little party queen
We're gonna do the straw, hey party queen
You know I love you so, my party queen
You're my rockin' and my rollin' party queen
