Lyrics:
Her name is Noelle
I have a dream about her
She rings my bell
I got gym class in half an hour
Oh, how she rocks
In Keds and tube socks
But she doesn't know who I am
And she doesn't give a damn about me
'Cause I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby
Yeah, I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby
Listen to Iron Maiden, baby, with me, ooh
Her boyfriend's a dick
And he brings a gun to school
And he'd simply kick
My ass if he knew the truth
He lives on my block
And he drives an IROC
But he doesn't know who I am
And he doesn't give a damn about me
'Cause I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby
Yeah, I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby
Listen to Iron Maiden, baby, with me, ooh
Oh, yeah, dirtbag
No, she doesn't know what she's missin'
Oh, yeah, dirtbag
No, she doesn't know what she's missin'
Man, I feel like mold
It's prom night and I am lonely
Lo and behold
She's walkin' over to me
This must be fake
My lip starts to shake
How does she know who I am?
And why does she give a damn about me?
I've got two tickets to Iron Maiden, baby
Come with me Friday, don't say maybe
I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby, like you
Oh, yeah, dirtbag
No, she doesn't know what she's missin'
Oh, yeah, dirtbag
No, she doesn't know what she's missin'..

    this woman needs so much more recognition. She’s so talented and has the most beautiful voice. It blows me away how quickly her voice range changes

    No one has her delicacy, pure sweet resonance, and phrasing. She’s so subtly incredibly good. Yeah, I love her.

    The best cover of Teenage Dirtbag I have ever heard. Nearly made me cry because it makes me miss being a kid so badly. Beautiful, and full of that youthful yearning.

    Nice to hear a young singer enunciate instead of using all the banal vocal quirks that so many people use to try to sound cool - like the slurring, the mumbling, over-pronounced vowels, misplaced vowels, and sticking “sh” sounds everywhere.

    She did this live opening for dodie and it was the moment I fell in love with her as an artist

    Congrats to Salt Lick Sessions for capturing a moment that encapsulates everything Lizzy. Lizzy’s vocal phrasings and textures give her a musical palette capable of penetrating the deepest parts of everything that makes us human.

    I don’t normally tune into the lyrics of a song that well but hearing this version of the song really helped me to actually listen to what the story was. Super captivating cover!

    I've heard this song too many times in my life. I clicked on this as a Lizzy fan, thinking I wouldn't listen to it through. I was wrong. Lizzy, you made an old tired song fresh again. Well done.
