From the recording Welcome To the Land Of Joyless Clowns....
Lyrics
Was the USA of the 1950s
Really quite as kind as it looked in the movies
There’s never any talk about missile defences
They’re all too busy painting white picket fences
Did the USA of the 1950s
Really gather round singing ‘Sweet Land of Liberty’
There’s never any talk about the Soviet Union
They’re all too busy with holy communion and
Revelling in being born red, white and blue
I love Lucy do you love Lucy too?
All of the men have 2 kids and a wife
And a college degree
And a job that’s for life
And oh, how I wish it was true
I love Lucy, do you love Lucy?
I love Lucy, do you love Lucy?
I love Lucy do you love Lucy too?
Did the USA of the 1950s
Act like Jimmy Stewart in the Christmas holidays
There’s never any talk about struggling through
Everybody drinks and cigarettes are good for you
In the USA of the 1950s
They drive Chevrolets and live outside of the city
There’s never any talk about nuclear weapons
Everybody’s certain they’ll be going to heaven and
Revelling in being born red, white and blue
I love Lucy do you love Lucy too?
All of the men have 2 kids and a wife
And a college degree
And a job that’s for life
And oh, how I wish it was true
I love Lucy, do you love Lucy?
I love Lucy, do you love Lucy?
I love Lucy do you love Lucy too?
I came back after service overseas
Where Coca Cola just washes over me
God bless America where all my wishing comes true
I love Lucy and television and
Revelling in being born red, white and blue
I love Lucy do you love Lucy too?
All of the men have 2 kids and a wife
And a college degree
And a job that’s for life
And oh, how I wish it was true
I love Lucy, do you love Lucy?
I love Lucy, do you love Lucy?
I love Lucy do you love Lucy too?
