Lyrics:
All set luncheonette,
kitchenette to let
I bet I get hamburgerette again.
We met in a launderette and kissed beneath the air jet
No sweat no regret
Another one in the back of the net.
When I met Jeanette,
Substitute Ronette,
She said "Will you remember?"
Said I could never forget her
Au naturalette,
Her mom's a millionette
So we shared one last cigarette and then swapped false addresses,
Jeanette,
Jeanette.
Dangerous
She's like damp dynamite
Oh boy, enjoy, have a nice night
Won't you promise to write me whenever you can
Make sure that you warn me if you're coming to Birmingham.
I get Jeanette
Substitute Ronette
She said "Will you remember?"
Said I could never forget her,
Jeanette
No no no I'll never forget you.
Touching your skin has proved one thing,
That love's still exciting.
We're getting there
We're nearly there
Just one final fling,
Pushing into a new love steady deep and strong
Steady on
You know we shouldn't talk like this.
I met Jeanette
Substitute Ronette
She said "Will you remember?"
Said "I could never forget you."
Au naturalette,
Her mom's a millionette
So we shared one last cigarette and swapped false addresses,
Jeanette
No no no I'll never forget you.
Jeanette
No no no I'll never forget you.
