Is she really going out with him?
There she is, let’s ask her.
Betty, is that Jimmy’s ring you’re wearing?
Uh hum.  
Gee, it must be great riding with him
Is he picking you up after school today?
Un un.
By the way, where did you meet him?

That’s when I fell for

The lead-er of the pack 

1    1    -1  -2  2   -1    1  -1   2……
My folks were al-ways put-ting him down. 
  1    1  -1  -2   -2   2    -1    1  -1  -1
They said he came from the wrong side of town

In school they all stop and stare
2   3    3    2    3     2 -3   3   -2 2
I can’t hide the tears, but I don’t care

I’ll nev-er for-get him,
-1    2  -1 1  -1    1
The lead-er of the pack.

They told me he was  bad 
 2  3   3  -3  3  -22

The lead-er of the pack

I had to tell my Jim-my we're through 

-3   -3    -3  -3  -3*  -3  -3*-3
In school they all stop and stare
2   3    3    2    3     2 -3   3   -2 2
I can’t hide the tears, but I don’t care

I’ll nev-er for-get him,
-1    2  -1 1  -1    1
The lead-er of the pack.

He stood there and asked me  why
 2   3  3   3   -3  3  -22
But all I could do was cry.
