Sunbeam shone, mousy girl on the end pew

You'd stay home, oh if only they let you

Le pastie de la bourgeoisie



Municipal pool, you're a junior life saver

But you're friends are all serious ravers

Le pastie de la bourgeoisie

Reading judy blume

But you came too soon



You're too tall, much too tall for a boyfriend

They run and hide, from your buck tooth and split ends

Don't be scared, like the books you've read

You're the heroine

You'll be doing fine



Wouldn't you like to get away?

Bestowing the memory of good and evil

On the ones you left behind

The heartless swine



And you love like nobody around you

How you love, and a halo surrounds you

Le pastie de la bourgeoisie

In the autumn cool

Say cheerio to school



Listen dear, i've been watching you lately

If i said all these things you would hate me

Le pastie de la bourgeoisie

At the church bazaar

I nearly went too far



Wouldn't you like to get away?

Give yourself up to the allure of

Catcher in the rye

The future's swathed in stars and stripes



Wouldn't you like to get away?

Kerouac's beckoning with open arms,

And open roads of eucalyptus

Westward bound
