Lyrics
Shame on you, Maggie Sue
What do you think you're trying to do?
Taking all them innocent minds and
Turning them all shades of blue
Shame shame on you, Maggie Sue
Moves so sweet and shaking hips
Wink of an eye, purse those lips
Breaking hearts and turning heads
You're gonna cause a few contusions
You know it's true - no illusions
Maggie Sue Maggie Sue, oh Maggie Sue Maggie Sue Maggie Sue, oh Maggie Sue
Maggie Sue Maggie Sue, oh Maggie Sue
Shame, shame on you, Maggie Sue
Now listen here girl, watch your mouth
Cussing like a sailor, up and down
Drinking like a fish ashore
Devil-woman put on your clothes
Every lovely inch, is well-exposed
Girl you got no defense
You know you're a bad influence
Girl, you and your sweet sweet friends
All the boys just love what you do
Shame shame on you, Maggie Sue
