The Class of '57 Songtext
von The Statler Brothers

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
Jenett teaches grade school
And probably 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
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 war
And Mary's on welfare

Charlie took a job with Ford
And 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 part of history

And the class of ′57 had its dreams
But living life, day and 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
