Jeannie

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
