Lyrics
WHEN BABY FINALLY MADE HER DEBUT TODAY,
NO ONE TOLD HER WHAT A GIRL SHOULDN?T SAY,
SO SHE JUST INTRODUCED HERSELF, AS ALEXANDRIA LEE!
SHE DIDN?T EXCUSE HERSELF, THAT?S ALEXANDRIA LEE FOR YA!
NO ONE TOLD HER WHAT TO WEAR AT THE BALL.
SO SHE JUST SHOWED UP, WEARING NOTHING AT ALL!
I SAW GODIVA BLUSH THAT NIGHT, FOR ALEXANDRIA LEE!
(1ST CHORUS)
SHE HAD THE PLACE A ROCKIN?, HAD THE BOYS A-ROLLIN?,
HAD THE GIRLS A-TALKIN?, ?BOUT THE FACT, SHE SEEM TO LACK A PINK- CHIFFON! THE GIRL HAD NOTHIN? AT ALL ON! (SOLO)
(REPEAT 1ST CHORUS )
THE GAGGLE GEESED ABOUT AND WANTED TO KNOW,
WHO DID HER HAIR, AND JUST WHEN WOULD SHE GO,
BUT THE BOYS JUST CALLED OUT FOR MORE OF ALEXANDRIA LEE!
THE GIRL PUT ON QUITE A SHOW, THAT?S ALEXANDRIA LEE FOR YA!
(2ND CHORUS)
YOU SEE THE JOINT WAS JUMPIN?, AND THE KNEES WERE KNOCKIN?,
AS THE JUKE WAS BUSY THUMPIN? OUT A BEAT TO HER SWEET (BARE) PRESENTATION!...NO HINT OF HESITATION! (SOLO)
(REPEAT 2ND CHORUS)
SHE HAD THE PLACE A -ROCKIN?, HAD THE JOINT A-JUMPIN?,
ALL THE GIRLS WERE TALKIN?, AND EVERY BOY WAS STUMBLIN?,
OVER EVERY LITTLE GIGGLE, EVERY LITTLE LINE,
EVERY LITTLE WIGGLE, EVERY LITTLE SMILE FROM
ALEXANDRIA LEE!
