Lyrics

Her name is Noel
I had a dream about her
She rings my bell
I got gym class in half an hour
Oh how she rocks
In Keds and tube socks
But she doesn't know who I am
And she doesn't give a damn about me

'Cause I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby
Yeah I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby
Listen to Iron Maiden maybe with me

Her boyfriend's a dick
So she should date me instead
And he'd simply suck my ass
if he knew the truth (That dick)
He lives on my block
And he drives an Iroc
But he doesn't know who I am
And he doesn't give a damn about me

'Cause I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby
Yeah I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby
Listen to Iron Maiden maybe with me

Oh yeah dirtbag
She doesn't know what she's missing
Oh yeah
Dirtbag
She doesn't know what she's missing

Man I feel like mold
It's prom night and I am lonely
Low and behold
She's walking over to me
This must be fake
My lips start to shake
How does she know who I am
And why does she give a damn about me

I've got two tickets to Iron Maiden baby
Come with me Friday, don't say maybe
I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby
Like you
Oooh

Oh yeah dirtbag
She doesn't know what she's missing
Oh yeah dirtbag
She doesn't know what she's missing
