donna she was a dancin girl bill was a travelin man they met one summer at the boxin ring when bill held out his hand, hello
she was all dressed up like a flapper girl prettier than anything he thought to himself as she held out her hand i got to find that girl a ring, hello
she looked into his eyes for so long it seemed that he'd just gotten lost in a blue-eyed dream it knocked him out everything was spinning when he woke back up but donna brought him water in a paper cup, hello hello, hello, hello
she held out her hand and whispered her name: DONNA and under the stars she looked like a queen DONNA
but nothin's easy in this world as you know and she was not a single girl, oh no...
so they kept in touch with some old postcards pretending that bill was gay but bill wouldve died if he didnt escape and take that girl away so he drove in his car out to arkansas leavin everything behind and he played a little song by her windowsill that echoed off the midnight pines
and she crept downstairs jumped into his shakin arms and she packed her bags ready to drive so far-ar-ar so far-ar-ar so far-ar-ar away, away, away....
she held out her hand and whispered her name DONNA and under the stars she looked like a queen DONNA (2x)
they left it all behind and drifted through the pines that day underneath the stars racin down the free highway... etc
