lyrics

well i’m a teen idol
yeah that’s me
i’m the one that you wanna be
there’s loads of money
and lot’s of girls
tons of fun come on give it a whirl

when i walk down the street everybody stares
at my leather boots and my long long hair
and i act like i just don’t care
cuz i’m a teen idol

well i’m a teen idol
yeah you know me well
you love my taste and you love my smell
my head is big
and it’s still on the swell
cuz i’m a teen idol

well i’m the big hit maker on the record machine
i’m the pretty face on the movie screen
yeah i’m riding around in my black limousine
i’m a teen idol

teen idol what’s your game?
did you have to change your name?
did it end in a vowel?
when will you throw in the towel?

well i’m a teen idol
want my autograph?
i might sign and it and i just might pass
i’m the one that all the fans adore
“come on sugar give me some more”

with my purple velvet hat
and leather pants of red
teenage girls hiding underneath my bed
i’ll get some sleep when i’m dead
cuz i’m a teen idol

teen idol you’re getting old
how many records have you sold?
do you feel like a whore
now that you’re on the oldies tour?
