Never did much good when he went to school
Too many teachers, there were too many rules
A dirty faced kid, he was never outta trouble
His mom and poppa told him better get out on the doubleBut when he heard that music on the radio
He knew one day he was gonna be a teenage idolHe quit his job at the factory
He was tired of makin' peanuts, so he jumped out of the tree
He couldn't wait another day to get out of that place
He punched the clock and he broke its faceBut when he heard that guitar on the radio
He knew one day he was gonna be a teenage idol
Teenage idolHe is a teenage idol, he knows how to rock and roll
A teenage idol, he's way out of control
YeahHe dumped his chick and he sold his car
He bought himself a hot guitar
He joined a band and they cut some tracks
He hit the road and he's never looked back, oh noAnd now they're playing all his records on the radio
And everybody knows, he's gonna be a teenage idol
WowHe is a teenage idol, he knows how to rock and roll
A teenage idol, he's way out of controlHe's just a teenage idol, he knows how to rock and roll

Everybody knows that he's gonna be a teenage idol
