Moving outside Topeka
Jeannie gonna buy her a big house there
Split level, a cul-de-sac
Jeannie gonna get her some big hair, yeah
Gonna find a father figure

Cushy cushy, a deadbeat dad, his crush cigarettes
Jeannie gonna find a keeper
Gonna find a keeper to treat her well

But the world don´t stop
Even when you´re living in colour
No, the world don´t stop
Time is only gonna pass you by
Now you´re in real life

Mmm, little boy, go ´coo coo coo coo coo´
Mmm, new clothes, new sho-o-o-o-oes
White linen and lavishly perfumed
Oh, you´re gonna paint that apple blue

But the world don´t stop
Mmm, even when you´re living in colour
No, the world don´t stop

Time is only gonna pass you by
Now you´re in real life, now you´re in real life
Now you´re in real life, now you´re in real life

But the world don´t stop
Mmm, even when you´re living in colour
No, the world don´t stop
Time is only gonna pass you by
But the world don´t stop
No, the world don´t stop
Time is only gonna pass you by
Now you´re in real life, now you´re in real life
Now you´re in real life, now you´re in real life
Now you´re in real life, now you´re in real life
