Lyrics for Le Pastie De La Bourgeoisie

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
