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

Janet teaches grade school and prob'ly 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

Oh, 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 ward 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 a part of history And the class of '57 had its dreams

But living life day to 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
