C                  G
She was only seventeen
C                             G
In her prime of life she was lean
C                          G                  Am
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

Chorus:
F                G
She's all go go go yeah yeah
Am                          F
She wears her pants on her hips too low
F                          G
She learned it all in magazines
        C G  F
She's Magdalene
F                       G
Ain't it funny how the sunshines?

She was only seventeen
She packed her bag and went to the scene
She said I'm going to take on this town
I'm going to 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 everybody knows

Chorus - x2
