[Verse]
A#m D# G# C# G#
The attic's filled with records unheard of for many years
A#m D# G#
When the radio plays old songs she has no time for tears
Fm D# Fm C#
She skipped the class reunion for the homecoming queen
G# D# C# G#
And she knows you can't go back, friends, to sweet little sixteen.
[Chorus]
C# D#7 Fm
And the Queen of 1959 is happy trying to be
C# D#7 Fm C#
F dedicated lady, she's got love for her family
Fm C#
And she sure looks good to me
D#
She's my everything, she treats me like a king
G#
She's a lady.

A#m D# G# C# G#
My favorite cheer leader finds her hair streaked with grey.
A#m D# G#
Instead of drive-in movies she'd rather see a play.
Fm D# C#
I know that her initials are carved in a desk somewhere
G# D# C# G#
And like rock and roll heroes, ponytails have been combed from her hair.
[Chorus]
C# D#7 Fm
And the Queen of 1959 is happy trying to be
C# D#7 Fm C#
F dedicated mother and a wife and a friend to me
Fm C#
And she sure looks good to me
D#
She's my everything, she treats me like a king
G#
She's a lady.
