         Gm               A#
Sunbeam shone, mousy girl on the end pew
            Gm                    Dm
You'd stay home, oh if only they let you
       Cm             Gm C Gm C Gm C Gm
Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie

          Gm                    A#
Municipal pool, you're a junior life saver
          Gm                Dm
But your friends are all serious ravers
    Cm                 F
Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie
              Gm
Reading Judy Blume
              C
But you came too soon
            Gm                        A#
You're too tall, much too tall for a boyfriend
             Gm                        Dm
They run and hide from your buck tooth and
split ends
      Cm                        F
Don't be scared like the books you've read
               Gm
You're the heroine
                     C
Oh, you'll be doing fine

Chorus:
              D#
Wouldn't you like to get away?
              A#
Bestowing the memory of good and evil
       F                    G
On the ones you left behind
               Gm  C Gm C Gm C Gm
The heartless swine

And you love like nobody around you
How you love and a halo surrounds you
Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie
In the autumn cool
Say cheerio to school
Listen Dear, I've been watching you lately
If I said all these things, you would hate me
Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie
At the church bazaar
I nearly went too far

Chorus:
Wouldn't you like to get away?
Kerouac's beckoning with open arms
And open fields of eucalyptus
Westward bound
Wouldn't you like to get away?
Give yourself up to the allure of
Catcher In The Rye
The future's swathed in Stars and Stripes

Wouldn't you like to get away?
Kerouac's beckoning with open arms
And open fields of eucalyptus
Westward bound
Wouldn't you like to get away?
Give yourself up to the allure of
Catcher In The Rye
The future's swathed in Stars and Stripes
