CLASS OF ‘57

(before second Act
played and sung by small combo)

Tommy’s selling used cars
Linda’s fixing hair
Robert runs a grocery store
And Margaret doesn’t care

Jerry’s an attorney
And Cassie’s on the make
Charley sells life insurance
and part time real estate

Helen is a hostess and
Frank works at the mill
Nancy teaches grade school
and probably always will.

Ralph’s a full professor
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
By our good works and 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’s on an insane ward
and Mary’s on welfare

John is big in cattle
Ray is deep in debt
Where Mavis finally wound up
Is anybody’s bet

Randy took a job at Ford
Joe took Freddie’s wife
Alice took a millionaire
And Freddie took his life

Joanne married Sonny
and Brenda married me
And the class of ‘57
Is just part of history

And the Class of 57 had its dreams
But living life from day to day
Is never what it seems.
Things get complicated
When you get past eighteen,
But the class of ‘57 had its dreams,
Ah the Class of ‘57 had its dreams
