Anyone who's played on a record date 
will remember stage door Jenny,
Well I saw her last night 
and man she looked like she wasn't gettin' any 
Oh - Rock 'n' roll kind of took its toll 
when she shed her inhibitions,
Too many scenes in limousines 
and dressing room intermissions.

She was the queen of nineteen sixty four
But the truth of the matter is 
nobody wants her any more.
There was a time she could have shown them how,
But nobody wants an over-age groupie now.

When it came to a superstar, 
Jenny was a bragger,
She spread it around to everyone in town 
that she made it with Mick Jagger
Oh - but there's no doubt, when the truth comes out, 
true love will always conquer,
She didn't get Mick, but she got a kick 
and a black eye from Bianca.

She was the queen of nineteen sixty four,
What a pity she became a shadow of the girl she was before.
She passed her prime, it seems a shame somehow,
But nobody wants an over-age groupie now.

Dwee da da da dwee da da da dwee da da da da,
Dwee da da da da da da , dwee da da da da.
Dwee da da da da da da da da, da da da da da,
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do.

I'm afraid that this morning's trade 
had a sad obituary,
There'll be no more Jenny at the door, 
They took her to the cemetery 
Just an autograph book and a stereo, 
there was no one she was close to,
She was found with her arms around an Elvis Presley poster.

She was the queen of nineteen sixty four,
Tonight there'll be a moment of silence at the Troubador.
There was a time she could have shown 'em how,
But nobody wants an over-age groupie now,
But nobody wants an over-age groupie now.

Dwee da da da dwee da da da dwee da da da da,
De de de de da da da da da da da da da da da da.
Papa oom a mow mow, oom mow mow mow,
Papa oom a mow mow, oom mow mow mow,
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do
