Statler Brothers The Class of '57 lyrics

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 and Charlotte's 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 prob'ly 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
Oh we all thought we'd change the world
With our great 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
Charlie took a job with Ford, Joe took Freddie's wife
Charlotte took a millionaire and Freddie took his life

John is big in cattle, Ray is deep in debt
Where Marvi's finally wound up is anybody's bet
Linda married Sonny, Brenda married me
And the class of all of us is just a 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
