Peggy Sue

Peggy Sue is a superstar She sings real loud when she rides in the car When mommy cheers and starts to cry Peggy Sue feels she can touch the sky Peggy Sue is a dreamer, too She dreams up places like Skizamaroo In dreams she travels far and wide For dreams give Peggy a place to hide See, Peggy Sue is just like you 'Cept her dad beats her mom til she's black and blue And her clothes don't fit and there's nothing to eat she's ashamed to be seen as she walks down the street There is no escape for our poor Peggy Sue And there's nothing our dear little Peggy can do She's just a girl, she can't stop the fights She can't end the cold and the hungry, long nights So she sits and she waits and she dreams for the day When someone will take little Peggy away
