	You’re on your way back home in a brand new station wagon
	A pile of rolling chrome, ten miles to the gallon
	Your mother puts her make-up on, you watch her crunch the gears
	It’s a child’s view of the Eisenhower years
	Your father knows what’s best, no one to upstage him
	He thinks he’s so well dressed, finds new things to outrage him
	Elvis on the television, G.I.s in Korea
	It’s a child’s view of the Eisenhower years
	I don’t mind the innocence so much
	In fact it’s charming
	The comedians have got a certain touch
	That’s quite disarming
	Even though the aliens from space
	Haunt the weekend matinees
	Super heroes keep the citizenry safe
	There’s a beep in the sky in 1957
	A metal ball that flies through Soviet heaven
	Papers shout the headlines, politicians fan the fears
	It’s a child’s view of the Eisenhower years
	I don’t mind the innocence so much
	In fact it’s charming
	And the girls in their hoop skirts
	Have got a style that quite disarming
	Even thought the neighbourhood is new
	Everybody looks like you
	At the soda fountain and the school-yard too
	See the baseball fly out across the diamond
	Jimmy Jones and I, we’ve both got good timing
	To be born into a greased back world,
	All hips and teenage sneers
	It’s a child’s view of the Eisenhower years

	You' re on your way back home in a brand new station wagon
	A pile of rolling chrome, ten miles to the gallon
	Your mother puts her makeup on, you watch her crunch the gears
