lyrics

There's a space on my upper arm
dedicated to a lady of special charm
I'm so proud of her, she's the one for me
That's why I put her name there for all to see
In my cutoff teeshirt, I'm styling
My baby's happy and she is smiling
She's one in a hundred she's quite a find
But what'll I do about the other ninety nine

I got a temporary tattoo
and it says Peggy Sue
and in a day or two
it may say Suzie Q
Marie Marie and Mary Lou
each has had their due
soon I'll be making room for you
on my temporary tattoo

Time after time I've been through it
Looked in the mirror and I drew it
Roll up my sleeve to give you a peek
Just might keep this one for a week
Romeo lover, I've been it
I got a little black book
with all the names in it
Who is next there's no telling
Just make sure I got the right spelling

I got a temporary tattoo
and it says Peggy Sue
and in a day or two
it may say Suzie Q
Marie Marie and Mary Lou
each has had their due
soon I'll be making room for you
on my temporary tattoo
