James Kelly - Beauty Queen Lyrics

Maggie was her name and she always washed her hands
Always made sure that she pleased her man
Yes, made sure that she cried, cried
Margaret was her name and her game was just the same
If you tried to play you'd get burned
And it only took a word
Can't you see, can't you see, can't you see, can't you see, can't you

She was a beauty queen, yeah
The finest girl I'd ever seen, yeah
We'd go dancing upon the scene
You could catch us if you only tried

Johnny was her name and she always touched her face
To make sure her mask was in place
To make sure that she smiled, smiled
You could see her from the floor
Her auburn hair crossed to the door as she dies
And can't you see that she never told a word
Can't you see, can't you see, can't you see, can't you see, can't you

She was a beauty queen, yeah
The finest girl I'd ever seen, yeah
We'd go dancing upon the scene
You could catch us if you only tried

Well she's out of her cage and she's out of her mind
She's sweating on stage but she swears she's doing fine
But the cop on the corner won't let her be
It's so hard in the middle of the night when you're out on the street

She was a beauty queen, yeah
The finest girl I'd ever seen, yeah
We'd go dancing upon the scene
You could catch us if you only tried
