The Class Of '57

Tommy's selling used cars, Nancy's fixing hair

Harvey runs a grocery store and Margaret doesn't care

Jerry drives a truck for Sears, Charlotte on the make

And Paul sells life insurance and part time real estate

Helen is a hostess, Frank works at the mill

Janet teaches grade school and probably always will

Bob works for the city, and Jack's in lab research

And Peggy plays organ at the Presbyterian Church

And the class of '57 had its dreams

We all thought we'd change the world with our great work & deeds

Or maybe we just thought the world would change to fit our needs

The class of '57 had its dreams

Betty runs a trailer park

Jan sells Tupperware

Randy on an insane ward

Mary's on welfare

Charlie took a job with Ford

Joe took Freddie's wife

Charlotte took a millionaire

And Freddie took his life

Johnny's big in cattle, Ray is deep in debt

Where Mavis finally wound up is anybody's bet

Linda married Sonny, Brenda married me

And the class of all of us are just part of history

And the class of '57 had its dreams

But living life day to day is never like it seems

Things get complicated when you get past eighteen

But the class of '57 had its dreams

Oh, the class of '57 had its dreams
