A Jackie, a-Jackie, a-Jackie's strength
A Jackie, a-Jackie, a-Jackie, hey

A Bouvier till her wedding day 
Shots rang out the police came 
Mama laid me on the front lawn 
And prayed for Jackie's strength 
Feeling old by twenty one 
Never thought my day would come 
My bridesmaids getting laid 
I pray for Jackie's strength 
Make me laugh 
Say you know what you want 
You said we were the real thing 
So I show you some more and I learn 
What black magic can do 
Make me laugh 
Say you know you can turn 
Me into the real thing 
So I show you some more and I learn 

Stickers licked on lunch boxes 
Worshiping David Cassidy 
Yeah I mooned him once on Donna's box 
She's still in recovery 
Sleep-overs Beene's got some pot 
You're only popular with anorexia 
So I turn myself inside out 
In hope someone will see 

Make me laugh 
Say you know what you want 
You said we were the real thing 
So I show you some more and I learn 
What black magic can do 
Make me laugh 
Say you know you can turn 
Me into the real thing 
So I show you some more 
And I learn 

A Jackie, a-Jackie, a-Jackie's strength
A Jackie, a-Jackie, a-Jackie, hey

I got lost on my wedding day 
Typical, the police came 
But virgins always get backstage 
No matter what they've got to say 
If you love enough you'll lie a lot 
Guess they did in Camelot 
Mama's waiting on my front lawn 
I pray I pray 
I said pray For Jackie's strength 
Strength 
Make me laugh 
Say you know what you want 
You said we were the real thing 
So I show you some more and I learn 

A Jackie, a-Jackie, a-Jackie's strength
A Jackie, a-Jackie, a-Jackie, hey
