Biography:
Neil Sedaka (born 13 March 1939 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American pop singer, pianist, and songwriter often associated with the Brill Building era of songwriting. He teamed up with Howard Greenfield to write many major hit songs for himself and others.
Sedaka wrote his 1959 hit "Oh! Carol" about his then-girlfriend, Carol Klein, later to become Carole King. In 1963, King released a humorous answer entitled "Oh Neil".
The Laughter In the Rain Songfacts says Sedaka's hits dried up when The Beatles arrived

INTRO:
G# C# D# G#
VERSE 1:
G#
Anyone who's played on a record date
C#
Will remember Stage Door Jenny
D#
Well, I saw her last night and man
G#
She looked like she wasn't gettin' any (Ahh)
G#
Rock and roll kinda took its toll
C#
When she shed her inhibitions
D#
Too many scenes in limousines
G#
And dressing room intermissions
CHORUS 1:
C# G#
She was the queen of 1964
D#
But the truth of the matter is
G#
Nobody wants her anymore
C# G#
There was a time she could've shown you how
D# C# G#
But nobody wants an overage groupie now
VERSE 2:
G#
When it came to a superstar
C#
Jenny was a braggart
D#
Spread it all around to everyone in town
G#
That she once had Mick Jagger (Ooh)
G#
There's no doubt when the truth comes out
C#
True love will over conquer
D#
She didn't get Mick but she got a kick
G#
And a black eye from Bianca
CHORUS 2:
C# G#
She was the queen of 1964
D#
What a pity she became a shadow of
G#
The girl she was before
C# G#
She passed her prime, it seems a shame somehow
D# C# G#
But nobody wants an overage groupie now

VERSE 3:
G#
I'm afraid that the Morning Trade
C#
Had a sad obiturary
D#
There'll be no more Jenny at the door
G#
They took her to the cemetery (Ahh)
G#
Just an autograph book and a stereo
C#
There was no one she was close ta
D#
She was found with her arms around
G#
An Elvis Presley poster
CHORUS 3:
C# G#
She was the queen of 1964
D#
Tonight there'll be a moment of silence
G#
At the Troubadour
C# G#
There was a time she could've shown you how
D# C# G#
But nobody wants an overage groupie now
