1949

[Verse 1]

Carry me up them stairs

With my white socks on

And my pretty song

You like my blue nail polish?

"What is all this?" You said

Of the mess upstairs

Don't be scared

[Pre-Chorus]

Daddy dearest, you know

How I like to take trips

Pops, first stops at the K-mart, buy me my peach lip gloss

Cigarettes and lollipops

For our trip across the USA

[Chorus]

We're gonna party like it's 1949

We're in the Pontiac from July to July

Gonna see it all before he says goodbye

Gonna party like it's 1949

[Verse 2]

Carry me up them stairs

With my white socks on

And my blonde hair long

You like my pin-up bodice and the solace

That comes with the midnight air

And my icy stare

[Pre-Chorus]

It's the clearest when it's me and him alone

He stops, he talks about all ways he used to let up

Dinerettes and soda pops for our trip across the USA

[Chorus]

We're gonna party like it's 1949

We're in the Pontiac from July to July

Gonna see it all before he says goodbye

Gonna party like it's 1949

[Outro]

Daddy likes Blackpool Pleasure Beach and road stops

Me, I like the Swiss Alps souvenir gift shops

Late night, midnight radio show talks

Him and me, a big jailbreak

Ponytail and lollipops, dinerettes and soda pops

New blue bathing suit, ruched tops and Cadillacs

Blue lake, Carter Docks, hopscotch, hot talk

Alabama hard knocks, motel brass locks
