she was only seventeen

in her prime of he life she was lean

and her only dream was to e 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 the magazines

she's Magdalene

ain't it funny how the sun shines?

she was only seveteen

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 everybody knows

she's all go go go yeah yeah

she wears her pants on her hips too low

she learned it all the magazines

she's Magdalene

ain't it funny how the sun shines
