She was a magic show illusionist
Born into the show
A beauty queen
Crowned Miss Long Beach
Many years ago
She was a blonde and tan
Bikini clad avid surfer girl
She was the mother
To the only child
She brought into this world
Twice a wife
Unless you count
The time from her death bed
With silver spoons for wedding rings
And morphine in her head
She was a dead ringer
For Peggy Lee in fever
A lady
A lover
A Gypsy and
A dreamer
Oh Jeannie
Played bass in the orchestra
Wore satin evening gowns
The lead singer in a rock band
To psychedelic sound
She was A hardhat union worker
Putting steel into the sky
With a closet, full of costumes
For all the facets of her life
And her stunning blue eyes
Could see right through you
overlook your flaws
And find in each of us some value
A warrior she was
Without a single whoa
Like a human kaleidoscope and
Our own Marilyn Monroe
Oh oh
Oh
Oh Jeannie
Jeannie
We miss you so
