As the sun shines
On a peaceful, pleasant Sunday morning
A middle class baby boy is born
In the suburbs

And his mother smiles
'cause he'll be the apple of her eye
With every advantage that money can buy
In the suburbs

Everybody understand
The boy needs a helping hand
He'll grow to be a teacher or a doctor some day
Helping folks like you and me
To learn or maybe see
Councilors and scholarships
Will help him on his way

Well the world turns
And the handsome little boy with the eager look
Sits in his room with his nose in a book
In the suburbs

And the "A's" he earns
He studies for the tests each night
And he won't quit
Till the answers are right
In the suburbs

Then one day comes graduation
The young man's on his way
He wears a cap and he wears a gown
And prepares to leave his old hometown

And his family smiles

As the crowd gathers round a brilliant young man
In the high school gym with diploma in hand
And as the young man flies

On a peaceful, pleasant Sunday morning
Another little baby child is born
In the suburbs
And her mother smiles
