You know it's a doggone pity, you used to be so pretty
You used to drive all the guys wild
And I used to dream that you would love me
You always seemed so far above me
Queen of the Prom your reigning days are gone
(Chorus)
Queen of the Prom you wonder what went wrong
Even I could have you now for a song
Queen of the Prom your reigning days are gone
Do you remember bashful Sally, a pile of books and Rand McNally
The night of the Prom her date was watching you
But now she's walking down the street
Lookin' so good, she's got you beat
Queen of the Prom your reigning days are gone
(Chorus)
Another time, another day you could have swept the world away
But all your smiles, all your charms they just slipped away
Queen of the Prom your reigning days
Queen of the Prom your reigning days
Queen of the Prom your reigning days are gone
Yes, it's a doggone pity
