Beauty Queen Lyrics

Maggie was her name and she always washed her hands

Always made sure that she pleased her man

Yes, made sure that she cried, cried

Margaret was her name and her game was just the same

If you tried to play you'd get burned

And it only took a word

Can't you see, can't you see, can't you see, can't you see, can't you

She was a beauty queen, yeah

The finest girl I'd ever seen, yeah

We'd go dancing upon the scene

You could catch us if you only tried

Johnny was her name and she always touched her face

To make sure her mask was in place

To make sure that she smiled, smiled

You could see her from the floor

Her auburn hair crossed to the door as she dies

And can't you see that she never told a word

Can't you see, can't you see, can't you see, can't you see, can't you

She was a beauty queen, yeah

The finest girl I'd ever seen, yeah

We'd go dancing upon the scene

You could catch us if you only tried

Well she's out of her cage and she's out of her mind

She's sweating on stage but she swears she's doing fine

But the cop on the corner won't let her be

It's so hard in the middle of the night when you're out on the street

She was a beauty queen, yeah

The finest girl I'd ever seen, yeah

We'd go dancing upon the scene

You could catch us if you only tried
