Lyrics

[Intro]
She's gonna sing, you're gonna listen
Rolling
One
One, two, three, four
[Instrumental]
Margaret, back in junior high
Margaret, all yellow curled
She was the most popular girl
Margaret, she was beautiful
Margaret developed first
We all thought she had all the luck in the world
[PreChorus]
She never noticed me, what could I give her?
I knew someday I would have to forgive her
Ooh, Margaret, dear Margaret
[Chorus]
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Such a lucky girl
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
How could I ever forget Margaret?
[Instrumental]
Meanwhile, ten years later
Well, Margaret moved to West Hollywood
We all thought she could make it if anyone could
Margaret, she missed the reunion
Margaret, we never heard
What became of St. Mary's glamorous girl
[PreChorus]
Until the day at the video center
Man held a tape with a girl on the cover
In bad lingerie on a Cadillac fender
Ooh, Margaret, dear Margaret
[Chorus]
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Such a lucky girl
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
How could I ever forget Margaret?
[PostChorus]
Margaret
Margaret
Margaret
[PreChorus]
She never noticed me, what could I give her?
I knew someday I would have to forgive her
Ooh, Margaret, dear Margaret
[Chorus]
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Such a lucky girl (Doo-doo-doo)
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Our St. Mary's girl (Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Such a lucky girl (Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
How could I ever forget Margaret?
