1949

Carry me up them stairs

With my white socks on

And my pretty song

Like my blue nail polish

What is all this?

You said of the mess upstairs

Don't be scared

Daddy dearest

You know how I like to take trips

Pops first stops at the K-Mart

Buy me my peach lipgloss

Cigarettes and lollipops

For our trip across the USA

We're gonna party like it's 1949

We're in the Pontiac from July to July

Gonna see it all before he says goodbye

Gonna party like it's 1949

Carry me up the stairs

With my white socks on

And my blonde hair long

You like my pin-up bodice

And the solace

That comes with the midnight air

And my icy stare

It's the clearest

When it's me and him alone

He's stops, he talks about all the ways he used to

Dinerettes and soda pops

For our trip across the USA

We're gonna party like it's 1949

We're in the Pontiac from July to July

Gonna see it all before he says goodbye

Gonna party like it's 1949

Daddy likes Blackpool,

Pleasure beach and road stops,

Me, I like the Swiss Alps souvenir gift shops

Late night, midnight, radio show talks

Him and me, a big jailbreak

Ponytail and lollipops

Dinerettes and sodapops

New blue bathing suit

Ruched tops and Cadillacs

Blue LA Carte Docks

Hopscotch, hot talk

Alabama hard knocks

Motel brass locks...
