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
