Jackie is a punk
Judy is a runt
They went down to the Mudd Club
And they both got drunk
Oh-yeah

Jackie is a bookie
Judy's taking loans
They both came up to New York
Just to see the Ramones
Oh-yeah

And oh, I don't know why she wrote that letter
Oh no, oh no
Oh I don't know why
We won't forget her, oh no

Jackie's playing hooky
Judy's playing pool
They both got caught for cutting
Got to go to summer school
Oh-yeah

Jackie's scalping tickets
Judy's getting harassed
They both got kicked outside
Didn't have a backstage pass
Oh-yeah

And oh, I don't why she wrote that letter
Oh no, oh no
And oh, I don't know why,
don't't know what's on her mind
I don't know, no, I don't know

But I can't stand to see her cryin'
She's still cryin', she ain't tryin'
She's going to get left behind
Nobody wants you, nobody wants you

    General CommentJudy and Jackie were two obsessive Ramones fans (according to the Ramones lyrics booklet). They died in a planecrash.

    General Commenti think Child of Music has the right meaning. I love this song along with tons of Ramones song. check out the Tom Waits version of this song on the tribute album. That and totally check out Judy is a Punk

    hell yeah Ramones--gone but will live forever
