Tommy's selling used cars, Nancy's fixing hair, [bad word] a grocery store and Margaret doesn't care.
Jerry drives a [bad word] 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 the 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 words and deeds.
Or maybe we just thought the world would change to fit our needs,
The class of '57 had its dreams.
 [bad word] a trailer park, Jan sells Tupperware,
Randy's on an insane ward, Mary's on welfare.
Charlotte 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 Mavis 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 from day to day is never like it seems.
Things [bad word] when you get past eighteen,
But the class of '57 had its dreams.
Oh, the class of '57 had its dreams.
