They met in 1980 at the school disco He kissed her for the first time on the last bus home He said you be Dirty 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 pact in the dark Getting pissed in the park She's in love She's in love
And when they walked downtown all the people would stare They used to laugh at her clothes and the color of their hair She was 17 and she didn't care Cause baby's gonna take her everywhere
Cause he said they'd live in New York And the stars would be their own She was dirty Harry and he was Joey Ramone Yeah he said they'd live in New York And the stars would be their own She was dirty Harry and he was Joey he was Joey Ramone
When she met him she was standing in a pure white light He said You 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 daddy's car Have a drink Have a laugh Do you want my autograph No school Summer's out Make me wanna twist and shout Down on the beaches lookin at the peaches
And when they walked downtown all the people would stare They used to laugh at her clothes and the color of their hair She was 17 and she didn't care Cause baby's gonna take her everywhere Cause he said they'd live in New York And the stars would be their own She was dirty Harry and he was Joey Ramone Yeah he said they'd live in New York And the stars would be their own She was dirty Harry and he was Joey he was Joey Ramone
