i was archie, he was reggie
i guess that made her veronica
conpetition, was gettin' heavy
fightin' for her unrequited love

and sugar, sugar
i was so blindly wrong
you know that archie should have seen it all along

you're my betty baby
strong and steady baby
you get me ready to face about anything
with you i cannot fail
i'm the king of riverdale
sell my jalopy baby
just to be you a ring

and oh my best friend,
let's call him jughead
come to think of it it's not much of a stretch
well even he says, i've come to my senses
chasin' veronica was like walkin' on a ledge
the view is so sweet, if your balance is sound
but she would push you just to see how far you'd bounce

and sugar, sugar
i was so blindly wrong
you know that archie should have seen it all along

you're my betty baby
strong and steady baby
you get me ready to face about anything
with you i cannot fail
i'm the king of riverdale
sell my jalopy baby
just to buy you a ring

you're my betty baby
