Sunbeam shone, 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 you're friends are all serious ravers   Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie      Reading Judy Blume, oh, 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, oh, 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, 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 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      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
