Lyrics

Jackie is a punk, Judy is a runt
They went down to the Mudd Club
And they both got drunk, oh yeah
Oh-yeah
Jackie is a bookie, Judy's taking loans
They both came up to New York
Just to see the Ramones, oh yeah
Oh-yeah
And oh, I don't know why she wrote that letter
Oh no, oh no
Oh, I don't know why
We won't forget her
Jackie's playing hooky, Judy's playing pool
They both got caught for cutting
Got to go to summer school, oh yeah
Oh-yeah
Jackie's scalping tickets, Judy's getting harassed
They both got kicked outside
Didn't have a backstage pass, oh yeah
Oh-yeah
And oh, I don't why she wrote that letter
Oh no, oh no
And oh, I don't know why
Dont't know what's on her mind
I don't know, no, I don't know
But I can't stand to see her cryin'
She's still cryin', why's she cryin'
She's going to get left behind
Nobody wants you, nobody wants you
Jackie is a punk, Judy is a runt
They went down to the Mudd Club
And they both got drunk, oh yeah
Oh-yeah
Jackie's playing hooky, Judy's playing pool
They both got caught for cutting
Got to go to summer school, oh yeah
Oh-yeah
And oh, I don't know why she wrote that letter
Oh no, oh no
Oh, I don't know why
Oh, I don't know why
No, I don't know why
Oh, I don't know why
No, I don't know why
She know I don't know why
Oh, I don't know why
Oh, I don't know why
She know I don't know why
Oh, I don't know why
No, I don't know why
No, I don't know why
Oh, I don't know why
Oh, I don't know why
She know I don't know why
