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: The mess upstairs
Don't be scared

Daddy dearest, you know how I like to take trips
Pops, first stop at the K-Mart, buy me my peach lip gloss
Cigarettes and lollipops, Mad Magazine and white socks
All in your car for our trip across the USA

We gonna party like it's 1949
We in the Pontiac from July to July
It's a flower motel nation
Day and night on our last vacation
We gonna see it all before we say goodbye

Daddy likes Blackpool Pleasure Beach and road stops
Baby likes the Swiss Alps, souvenir gift shops
Late night, midnight radio show talks
Daddy, baby, big jailbreak

Ponytail and lollipops, dinerettes and soda pops
New blue bathing suit, ruched tops and Cadillacs
Blue Lake Carter docks, hopscotch, shit talk
Alabama hard knocks, motel brass locks

We gonna party like it's 1949
We in the Pontiac from July to July
It's a motel flower nation
Day and night on our last vacation
We gonna see it all before he says goodbye
