She  was  only  seventeen

In  her  prime  of  life  she  was  lean

And  her  only  dream  was  to  be  on  the  silver  screen

She  hailed  from  north  of  baltimore

Her  mama  says  she'd  end  up  a  whore

And  she  spent  up  all  her  dough  at  the  movie  show

She's  all  go  go  go  yeah  yeah

She  wears  her  pants  on  her  hips  too  low

She  learned  it  all  in  magazines

She's  magdalene

Ain't  it  funny  how  the  sun  shines

She  was  only  seventeen

She  packed  her  bag  and  went  to  the  scene

She  said  I'm  gonna  take  on  this  town  I'm  gonna  be  the  queen

She  mingled  like  she'd  been  there  before

She  worked  it  till  they  hollered  for  more

Then  she  took  off  all  her  clothes

Now  everbody  knows

She's  all  go  go  go  yeah  yeah

She  wears  her  pants  on  her  hips  too  low

She  learned  it  all  in  magazines

She's  magdalene

Ain't  it  funny  how  the  sun  shines

oh  no  no  She's  all  go  go  go  yeah  yeah

She  wears  her  pants  on  her  hips  too  low

She  learned  it  all  in  magazines

She's  magdalene

Ain't  it  funny  how  the  sun  shines
