paroles de chanson The Homecoming Queen's Got a Gun - Julie Brown

It was homecoming night at my high school
Everyone was there, it was totally cool
I was real excited, I almost wet my jeans
'Cause my best friend Debbie was homecoming queen

She looked so pretty in pink chiffon (chiffon)
Riding the float with her tiara on (tiara on)
Holding this humongous bouquet in her hand (bouquet)
She looked straight out of Disneyland
You know, like, the Cinderella ride? I mean definitely an E-ticket (e-ticket)

The crowd was cheering, everyone was stoked (was stoked)
I mean it was like the whole school was totally coked or something
The band was playing Evergreen
Then all of a sudden, somebody screamed
"Look out, the homecoming queen's got a gun!"

Everybody run
The homecoming queen's got a gun
Everybody run
The homecoming queen has got a gun

Debbie's smiling and waving her gun
Picking off cheerleaders one by one
Oh, Buffy's pom-pom just blew to bits
Oh no, Mitzi's head just did the splits
God, my best friend's on a shooting spree
Stop it, Debbie, you're embarrassing me
How could you do what you just did?
Are you having a really bad period?

Everybody run
The homecoming queen's got a gun
Everybody run
The homecoming queen has got a gun
(Stop Debbie, you're making a mess)
(Powder burns all over your dress)

An hour later, the cops arrived
By then the entire glee club had died, no big loss
You wouldn't believe what they brought to stop her
Tear gas, machine guns, even a chopper
(Throw down your gun and tiara and come out of the float)

Debbie didn't listen to what the cop said
She aimed and fired, and now the math teacher's dead
Oh, it's really sad, but kind of a relief
I mean, we had this big test coming up next week

Everybody run
The homecoming queen's got a gun
Everybody run
The homecoming queen has got a gun
(Debbie's really having a blast)
(She's wasting half of the class)

The cops fired a warning shot that blew her off the float
I tried to scream "duck" but it stuck in my throat
She hit the ground and did a flip, it was real acrobatic
But I was crying so hard, I couldn't work my Instamatic
I ran down to Debbie, I had to find out
What made her do it? Why'd she freak out?
I saw the bullet had got her right in the ear
I knew then the end was near

So I ran down and I said, in her good ear
"Debbie, why did you do it?"
She raised her head, smiled and said, "I did it for Johnny"

Johnny? Well, like, who's Johnny?
Answer me, Debbie, who's Johnny?
Does anybody here know Johnny? Are you Johnny?
There was one guy named Johnny, but he was a total geek, he always had food in his braces
Answer me, Debbie, who's Johnny?
Oh god, this is like that movie Citizen Kane
You know, where you later find out Rosebud was a sled?
But we'll never know who Johnny was 'cause, like, she's dead

Everybody run
The homecoming queen's got a gun
Everybody run
The homecoming queen has got a
Everybody run
Everybody run
The homecoming queen has got a
