Sunbeam shine, mousy girl on the end pew You'd stay home, oh if only I let you Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie
Municipal pool, you're a junior life saver And your 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 teeth 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 And if I said all these things you would hate me Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie At the church bazaar I think I went too far
Wouldn't you like to get away? Kerouac's beckoning with open arms, And open fields of eucalyptus Westward bound
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
