Tammy's a Delinquent - The Riptides

Tammy’s a delinquent, what can she do?

Her teachers don’t care, and her parents sniff glue

Tammy’s a delinquent, what can she do?

Her parents don’t care, and her teachers sniff glue

Tammy’s a delinquent and that’s why we love her

It was back in 1989, she came 'round N' gave the boys a wink

A little cherry pie, daddy’s girl, chewing gum

Dressed head to toe in pink

She had the world in her lap

She’d turn a punk into a prep

— But now she’s different

Tammy’s a delinquent…

Things all changed in junior high

She started a band and called themselves «The Clits»

She had the leather N' her hi-top shoes

took no shit, but flashed the boys her tits

she is a female Jimmy Dean

She is a punk-fuck Dairy queen

-N' that’s why we love her

Tammy’s a delinquent…

She’s the kinda girl no man can tame

And we hope that she’ll always stay the same

'Cause that’s why we love her
