[Intro]
[Verse 1]
She used to work in Woolies
She worshipped Mary Quant
They Went to Blackpool for their holidays
And sometimes the Isle Of Wight
Her father supported the Spurs
And her brother was doin fine
And her old mum worked down the hairdresser s
Doing blue rinses, three quid a time...
...Singin --
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, - oh, oh oh - Woolworth girl
Wishing on a sta-r-r-r - ar-r-r - Woolworth girl
I wonder where you are...
[Verse 3]
By twenty she was married
And had another one on the way
And her old man fetched her a couple of backhands
Then did a bunk with a woman from Spain
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, - oh, oh oh - Woolworth girl
Wishing on a sta-r-r-r - ar-r-r - Woolworth girl
I wonder where you are...
[Verse 4]
She left her kids with her parents
And disappeared into the night
Well, that was over twenty years ago...
...no sound or -- (sight)
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, - oh, oh oh - Woolworth girl
Wishing on a sta-r-r-r - ar-r-r - Woolworth girl
I wonder where you are...
[Verse 5]
Then one day down our high street
On my way to the local flicks
I recognised the eyes of the woman, yeah
At the pick an mix
It was...
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, - oh, oh oh - Woolworth girl
Wishing on a sta-r-r-r - ar-r-r - Woolworth girl
I wonder where you...
