She twirled baton in high school She was a dairy queen Her boyfriend played football Drove a fifty-six Chevy that was cream And they hung out at the Halley’s On a weekend night        Dairy queen         They say she looks like Harlow But her mother doesn’t care She wants to keep her on the dairy To work and earn a boy       ’Cause she thinks it’s fair ’Cause Crystal wants to go to Reno Dance in a chorus line         Dairy queen             She wishes on a star Every night before she goes to bed Wants to get ahead       And represent a company Wants to be queen of the fair Dairy queen Her mother’s eyes are cryin’ Hates to see her daughter go But Miss Crystal’s got to do it If she’s ever goin’ to be out on her own She’s got beauty goin’ for her All she needs is love   Dairy queen             Dairy queen
