The Leader of the Pack - John Powell, The Sydney Scoring Orchestra

Mm--«Is she really going out with him?

«Well, there she is, Let’s ask her»

«Betty, is that Jimmy’s ring you’re wearing?»

«Mm-hm»

«Gee, it must be great riding with him»

«Is he picking you up after school today?»

«Mm-mm»

«By the way, where did you meet him?»

«I met him at the candy store

He turned around and smiled at me You get the picture

«Yes, we see»

That’s when I fell for the leader of the pack

My folks were always putting him down

They said he came from the wrong side of town

They told me he was bad but I knew he was sad

That’s why I fell for the leader of the pack

One day my dad said find someone new

I had to tell my Jimmy we’re through

He stood there and asked me why, but all I could do was cry

I’m sorry I hurt you, the leader of the pack

Du du--

He sort of smiled and kissed me good bye

The tears were beginning to show

As he drove away on that rainy night,

I begged him to go slow, whether he heard,

I’ll never know Look out!

Look out!

Look out!

I felt so helpless, what could I do Remembering all the things we’d been through?

In school they all stop and stare

I can’t hide the tears, but I don’t care

I’ll never forget him, the leader of the pack

Ooh, the leader of the pack now he’s gone

the leader of the pack now he’s gone

the leader of the pack now he’s gone
