[Verse 1]
Her name is Noelle,
I have 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.
[Chorus 1]

'Cause I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby.
Yeah, I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby.
E A B C#m G#m E A (6/4) B C#m G#m A B
Listen to Iron Maiden, baby, with me.
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
Her boyfriend's a dick
and he brings a gun to school,
And he'd simply kick
My ass if he knew the truth.
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.
[Chorus 2]
'Cause I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby.
Yeah, I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby.
E A B C#m G#m E A (6/4) B C#m G#m A B
Listen to Iron Maiden, baby, with me.
[Bridge 1]
Yeeah, -------- Dirtbag, ----------
No, she doesn't know what she's missing.
Yeeah, -------- Dirtbag, ----------
No, she doesn't know what she's missing.
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
Man, I feel like mold,
It's prom night and I am lonely.
Lo and behold:
She's walking over to me.
This must be fake,
My lip starts to shake.
How does she know who I am?
And why does she give a damn about me?
[Chorus 3] (same chords but softer than previous choruses, possibly pluck certain notes)
I've got two tickets to Iron Maiden, baby.
Come with me Friday, don't say maybe.
E A B C#m G#m E A (6/4) B C#m G#m A B
I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby like you.
[Bridge 2]
Yeeah, -------- Dirtbag, ----------
No, she doesn't know what she's missing.
Yeeah, -------- Dirtbag, ----------
No, she doesn't know what she's mis - sing.
