1949

Carry me up them stairs with my white socks on
                                          D
And my pretty song, you like my blue nail polish,
                                    Bm
"What is all this?" you said, "the mess upstairs"

Don't be scared.

D                                          Bm
Daddy dearest, you know how I like to take trips,

Buy me my peach lip gloss,

Mad magazine and white socks,
                         E
All in your car for our trip across the USA.
