Dion & The Belmonts', "Lonely Teenager"
The Lyrics:
I wanna go home where I belong
'Cause now I'm just a lonely teenager.
'Cause now I'm just a lonely teenager.
Why:
The word "teenager" is pronounced "teen - ay - JERR" (stress on last syllable) rather than the usual "teen - AGE - er" or "TEEN - age - er" in order to make the words fit the rhythm.
