She met him 1980 in a school disco

He kissed her for the first time on the last bus home

He said "You be DEBBIE HARRY, I'll be JOEY RAMONE"

 

She saw shooting stars flash by

The moon exploded in the sky

Her heart flipped when they kissed

Star dust on her lips

Special vat in the dark

Getting pissed in the park

She's in love, she's in love

 

And when they walked down town all the people would stare

They used to laugh at her clothes and the colour of her hair

She was 17 and she didn't care

‘Cos baby's gonna take her everywhere

 

‘Cos he said they'd live in New York

And the stars would be their own

She was DEBBIE HARRY

He was JOEY RAMONE

 

Yeah he said they'd live in New York

And the stars would be their own

‘Cos she was DEBBIE HARRY

He was JOEY, he was JOEY RAMONE

 

When she met him she was standing in a pure white light

He said "d'ya like the SEX PISTOLS, have you got a light?"

And all the stars were shining on a perfect Saturday night

Holding him tight

 

Kissing him in the dark

In the back of daddys car

Have a drink have a laugh

Do you want my autograph

No school summers out

Make me wanna twist and shout

Down on the beaches looking at the peaches

 

When they walked down town all the people would stare

They used to laugh at her clothes and the colour of her hair

She was 17 and she didn't care

‘Cos baby's gonna take her everywhere

 

‘Cos he said they'd live in New York

And the stars would be their own

She was DEBBIE HARRY

He was JOEY RAMONE

 

Yeah he said they'd live in New York

And the stars would be their own

‘Cos she was DEBBIE HARRY

He was JOEY, he was JOEY RAMONE

 

‘Cos he said they'd live in New York

And the stars would be their own

She was DEBBIE HARRY

He was JOEY RAMONE

 

Yeah he said they'd live in New York

And the stars would be their own

‘Cos she was DEBBIE HARRY

He was JOEY, he was JOEY RAMONE
