[Verse 1]
Brenda Lee, she's a cutie
Flighty as a butterfly
Bobby Sox, ponytail
Snuffy to the flirty guys
Twas only one thing on her mind
And that was getting out of Central High

[Verse 2]
Brenda Lee, she's a sophomore
I never saw her laugh or cry
She's growing up so fast
Studied as the days went by
She's ranking third in our class
In her second year at Central High

[Verse 3]
Brenda Lee, she's a senior
And brighter than the summer sky
She didn't dance, didn't date
Always had an alibi
But she shook up everybody
At the prom dance at Central High

[Verse 4]
Brenda Lee, she's a beauty
She came in with a handsome guy
She sang songs, she entertained
And waved her alma mater goodbye
And had reporters take some pictures
On her walking out of Central High
