She looked so pretty in pink chiffon

Riding the float with her tiara on

Holding this humongous bouquet in her hand

She looked straight out of Disneyland

You know, like, the Cinderella ride

The band was playing "Evergreen". (aaaa-aaah)

Then all of a sudden, somebody screamed

"Look out—the homecoming queen's got a gun"
[Chorus]
Dm
Everybody run
Bb
The homecoming queen's got a gun
Dm
Everybody run
Gm A Dm
The homecoming queen has got a gun
[Fast Verse]
Dm
Debbie's smiling and waving her gun
Bb
Picking off cheerleaders one by one
Dm
Oh, Buffy's pompom just blew to bits
Bb
Oh no, Mitzi's head just did the splits
Gm
God, my best friend's on a shooting spree
Am
Stop it, Debbie, you're embarrassing me

How could you do what you just did
Asus4 A
Are you having a really bad period

(Stop Debbie, you're making a mess
Dm
Powder burns all over your dress)

An hour later, the cops arrived
Bb Dm
By then the entire Glee Club had died—no big loss
You wouldn't believe what they brought to stop her
Bb
Tear gas, machine guns, even a chopper
Dm F
(Throw down your gun and tiara and come out of the float)
Gm
Debbie didn't listen to what the cop said
A
She aimed and fired, and now the math teacher's dead
Bb
Oh, it's really sad, but kind of a relief

I mean, we had this big test coming up next week
[Chorus]

Everybody run

The homecoming queen's got a gun
Dm
Everybody run
Bb A Gm Am Dm
The homecoming queen has got a gun
Dm
(Debbie's really having a blast
Dm
She's wasting half of the class)
[Fast Verse]
Dm
The cops fired a warning shot that blew her off the float
Bb
I tried to scream "duck" but it stuck in my throat
Dm
She hit the ground and did a flip, it was real acrobatic
Bb
But I was crying so hard, I couldn't work my Instamatic
Gm
I ran down to Debbie, I had to find out
Am A
What made her do it, why'd she freak out
Bb
I saw the bullet had got her right in the ear
Asus4 A
I knew then the end was near
Dm Em
So I ran down and I said, in her good ear
Dm
"Debbie, why did you do it"
She raised her head, smiled, and said
E
"I did it for Johnny"
[Spoken Interlude]
N.C.
Johnny
Well, like, who's Johnny
Dm
Answer me, Debbie, who's Johnny
N.C.
Does anybody here know Johnny
N.C.
Are you Johnny
N.C.
There was one guy named Johnny
N.C.
But he was a total geek
N.C.
He always had food in his braces
Bb
Answer me, Debbie, who's Johnny
Dm
Oh god, this is like that movie "Citizen Kane"
Bb
You know, where you later find out Rosebud was a sled
Bb
But we'll never know who Johnny was
Bb
Cause, like, she's dead
[Chorus]
