David Bowie’s handwritten lyrics to his 1972 hit “Jean Genie” just sold for over $55,000.

The signed-and-dated lyric sheet had originally been given to Bowie Fan Club founder Neal Peters, and was recently auctioned off by Omega Auctions in the UK.

$55K might be a bargain – Bowie’s handwritten lyrics to “Starman” recently sold for more than $245,000 in Australia.
