QUEENIE

"Queenie" is Roma!'s first song. It's about a blonde. "Queenie" was produced and cowritten by David Barratt. If the lyrics sound familiar, it's because many of them were taken from The Wild Party, an epic poem by Joseph Moncure March that was published in 1928. Female vocals courtesy of Calavera.

Queenie by RomaTheBand

Queenie was a blonde

And her age stood still

When she danced twice a day

Twice a day in vaudeville

Grey eyes

Lips like coals aglow

And her face a tinted mask

A tinted mask of snow

What hips

What shoulders

What a back she had!

Legs built to drive men mad

And she did

And she did

And she did

And she did

Queenie had a man

She had a man named Burrs

He was a clown of great renown

Three-sheeted all over town

Oh yes

Burrs he was a charmer

Who only loved Queenie as much

As much as he could harm her

One grin

One gesture

And the house would yell

But his eyes were mean as hell

'Cause he was

Yes he was

Just because

Just because

And when Sunday comes

Queenie's up like a shot

And though it ain't quite noon

It's already too hot

So tired

That her eyes stay shut

And when she calls her man

Her man calls her a slut

They fight

Then she says

Babe to make this right

Let's throw a party tonight

So they did

Yes they did

And they did

Yes they did
