Jack In The Box Lyrics

My name is Anabelline
And I'm a movie star
I've got a cute, cute smile
And a mighty guitar
I've got lips
And hips, boom-boom
I'm a turn-around movie star!
I'm a turn-around, turn-around movie star!

My name is Johnny Cool
And I'm a rock star
I've got a leather jacket
And a Trans Am car
I've got curls
I like the girls
I'm a turn-around rock star!
I'm a turn-around, turn-around rock star!
