Lyrics
Brenda Lee, she's a cutie
Flighty as a butterfly
Bobby sock, ponytail
Snuffy to the flirtier guys
T'was only one thing on her mind
And that was getting out of Central High
Brenda Lee, she's a sophomore
I never saw her laugh or cry
She's growing up so fast
Studied as the days went by
She's ranking third in our class
In her second year at Central High
Brenda Lee, she's a senior
And brighter than the summer sky
She didn't dance, didn't date
Always had an alibi
But she shook up everybody
At the prom dance at Central High
Brenda Lee, she's a beauty
She came in with a handsome guy
She sang songs, she entertained
And waved her alma mater goodbye
And had reporters take some pictures on her
Walking out of Central High
Writer(s): Chuck Berry
