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 blue 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
and 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
and 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
and 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
and he was JOEY, he was JOEY RAMONE
