Intro: verse 1: Anyone who’s played on a record date Will remember Stage Door Jenny Well I saw her last night and man She looked like she wasn’t gettin’ any (Ahh) Rock and roll kinda took its toll When she shed her inhibitions Too many scenes in limousines And dressing room intermissions She was the queen of 1964 But the truth of the matter is Nobody wants her anymore There was a time she could’ve shown you how But nobody wants an overage groupie now verse 2: When it came to a superstar Jenny was a braggart Spread it all around to everyone in town That she once had Mick Jagger (Ooh) There’s no doubt when the truth comes out True love will over conquer She didn’t get Mick but she got a kick And a black eye from Bianca She was the queen of 1964 What a pity she became a shadow of The girl she was before She passed her prime it seems a shame somehow But nobody wants an overage groupie now Bridge: De-da-da-da-da-de-da-da De-da-da-da-da De-da-da-da-da-de-da-da De-da-da-da-da De-da-da-da-da-de-da-da De-da-da-da-da De-da-da-da-da-de-da-da De-da-da-da-da verse 3: I’m afraid that the Morning Trade Had a sad obiturary There’ll be no more Jenny at the door They took her to the cemetery (Ahh) Just an autograph book and a stereo There was no one she was close ta She was found with her arms around An Elvis Presley poster She was the queen of 1964 Tonight there’ll be a moment of silence At the Troubadour There was a time she could’ve shown you how But nobody wants an overage groupie now But nobody wants an overage groupie now OUTRO: De-da-da-da-da-de-da-da De-da-da-da-da De-da-da-da-da-de-da-da De-da-da-da-da Ba-ba-oom-a-moow-moow Ba-ba-oom-moow-moow Ba-ba-oom-a-moow-moow-moow-moow Ba-ba-oom-a-moow-moow Ba-ba-oom-moow-moow

La chanson raconte l'histoire de Jenny, une ancienne groupie qui était à la mode dans les années 1960, mais qui a perdu de son éclat au fil du temps. Elle se remémore ses jours de gloire, lorsqu'elle était admirée et pouvait séduire les stars, comme Mick Jagger, mais aujourd'hui, elle est devenue une ombre d’elle-même. La toxicité de la célébrité et le passage du temps l’ont laissée isolée et en deuil, soulignant le fait qu’avec l’âge, l’attention des autres s'estompe. Le contexte de cette époque évoque la culture rock des années 60, où la gloire était éphémère et souvent synonyme de désillusion. Jenny symbolise le mode de vie excessif de certaines figures célèbres. Sa fin tragique, retrouvée seule avec un poster d'Elvis, reflète la solitude qui peut accompagner une vie dédiée à la célébrité, rappelant que la beauté et la jeunesse sont souvent éphémères.
