Lyrics
Judy was a girl you would remember
'Specially when she wore that fuzzy pink low-neck sweater
All the boys would line up for a chance
To be the first to ask her for a slow dance
CHORUS
Just dancing
What could be better?
The smell of her hair (2d time: If she wanted to tease me)
And she was wearing that sweater (2d time: I would just let her)
Swinging and swaying and playing with my teenage mind
Just dancing with Judy
That was just fine
I was shy, wouldn't say I was one of the popular boys
But I made it my goal to become one of Judy's toys
Clowning around in class to catch her eye
And when she said she would go to the prom with me,
I thought that I would die
CHORUS
BRIDGE
I haven't seen Judy in years
But I still remember that night so well
A goodnight kiss beneath the stars
I still thank her today for bringing me out of my shell
CHORUS
