You’re on your way back home in a brand new station wagon | |
A pile of rolling chrome, ten miles to the gallon | |
Your mother puts her make-up on, you watch her crunch the gears | |
It’s a child’s view of the Eisenhower years | |
Your father knows what’s best, no one to upstage him | |
He thinks he’s so well dressed, finds new things to outrage him | |
Elvis on the television, G.I.s in Korea | |
It’s a child’s view of the Eisenhower years | |
I don’t mind the innocence so much | |
In fact it’s charming | |
The comedians have got a certain touch | |
That’s quite disarming | |
Even though the aliens from space | |
Haunt the weekend matinees | |
Super heroes keep the citizenry safe | |
There’s a beep in the sky in 1957 | |
A metal ball that flies through Soviet heaven | |
Papers shout the headlines, politicians fan the fears | |
It’s a child’s view of the Eisenhower years | |
I don’t mind the innocence so much | |
In fact it’s charming | |
And the girls in their hoop skirts | |
Have got a style that quite disarming | |
Even thought the neighbourhood is new | |
Everybody looks like you | |
At the soda fountain and the school-yard too | |
See the baseball fly out across the diamond | |
Jimmy Jones and I, we’ve both got good timing | |
To be born into a greased back world, | |
All hips and teenage sneers | |
It’s a child’s view of the Eisenhower years |
You' re on your way back home in a brand new station wagon | |
A pile of rolling chrome, ten miles to the gallon | |
Your mother puts her makeup on, you watch her crunch the gears | |
