"Hey, Betty? Is that Jimmy's ring you're wearing?"
"Uh huh."
"Oh! Must be nice riding on that motorcycle after school, huh?"
"Uh huh."
"Is he picking you up after school today?"
"Unh uh!"
"Well, where'd ya meet him?"

I met him at the candy store
He turned around and smiled at me
Ya get the picture? (Yes, we see)
That's when I fell for the leader of the pack

My folks were always puttin' him down
Down! Down!
They said he came from the wrong side of town
They told me that he was bad
But I knew that he was sad
And thats why I fell for the leader of the pack

One day my dad said, "Find someone new."
New! New!
I had to tell my Jimmy that
Whoa, we were through
He stood up and then he asked me why
But all I could do was cry
I'm sorry I hurt you
The leader of the pack
He sort of smiled and he kissed me goodbye
The tears were beginning to show
And as he drove away from me
On that rainy, rainy night
I begged him to go slow
But whether he heard me
I'll never, never, never, never know!
Look out now, now, look out!
Whoa oh no no no! Whoa no no no! No! No!

I felt so helpless! What could I do-wo-wo-wo-wo?
The only, only love that we had was through
At school they all stop and stare
I can't hide the tears
I just don't care!
I will never forget you
The leader of the pack!
Whoa-oo-woh! Gone gone gone!
Gone gone gone!
The leader of the pack is
Now he's gone!
The leader of the pack is
Now he's gone!
The leader of the pack is, whoa gone!
Gone gone gone!
Gone gone gone!
Gone gone gone!
