Sunbeam shone, mousy girl on the end pew
You'd stay home oh if only I'd let you
Am Em A, Em, A, Em A, Em, Em, Em
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 buckteeth and split ends
Don't be scared of 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
A, Em, A, Em, A, Em, Em, Em
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
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
-----Last two choruses X 2
End : Em, A, Em, A, Em, A, Em, Em
