Did you hear what happened to Jenny Drew?
I couldn't believe it, but it's true
Twenty-six, and now she's dead
I wish that I could have died instead

Did you hear what happened to Jenny Drew?
Did you see how thin and pale she grew?
So much suffering, could not hide
Endless heartache 'til she died

Did you hear what happened to Jenny Drew?
Strike me dead, for making it true
Strike me dead, for letting it go
Nothing that I didn't know

Did you hear what happened to Jenny Drew?
I couldn't believe it, but it's true
Twenty-six, and now she's dead
I wish that I could have died instead
