If you knew Peggy Sue, then you'd know why I feel blue
without Peggy, my Pe-he-ggy Sue
Oh, well, I love you gal, yes, I love you Peggy Sue.

Peggy Sue, Peggy Sue, Oh how my heart yearns for you
Oh, Pa-he-ggy, my Pa-he-ggy Sue;
Oh, well, I love you gal, yes, I love you Peggy Sue.

Peggy Sue, Peggy Sue, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, Peggy Sue,
Oh, oh Peggy, my Peggy Sue
Oh, well, I love you gal, and I need you, Peggy Sue.
I love you Peggy Sue, with a love so rare and true,
Oh-oh, Peggy, My Peggy Sue ue ue, ue ue ue ue ue
Oh, well, I love you gal, yes, I want you, Peggy Sue.

Peggy Sue, Peggy Sue, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, Peggy Sue,
Oh-oh, my Peggy, my Peggy Sue ue ue
Oh, well, I love you gal, yes I need you, Peggy Sue.

Oh, Peggy, My Peggy Sue
Oh, well, I love you gal, yes, I want you, Peggy Sue.
