Jack And Diane ( Play )

A little ditty 'bout Jack and Diane.

Two American kids growing up in the heartland.

Jack ain't gonna be a football star.

Diane debuted on backseat of Jacky's car.

Sucking on a chili dog outside the taste freeze.

Diane sat on Jacky's lap, got his hands between her knees.

Jackie says, "Hey, Diane, let's run up behind the shady tree.

Dribble off those barbie brooks.

Let me do what I please."

And I said, "Oh, yeah, life goes on long after the thrill

of living is gone.

Oh, yeah, life goes on long after the thrill of living

is gone.

Walk on."

Jackie sits back, collects his thoughts for the moment,

scratches his head, and does his best James Dean.

Well, then there Diane, we gotta run to the city.

Diane says, hey baby, we ain't missing a thing.

But Jackie says, oh yeah, life goes on,

long after the thrill of living is gone.

Oh yeah, life goes on

Long after the thrill of livin' is gone

So let it rock, let it roll

Let the Bible bell come and save my soul

Holdin' on to 16 as long as you can

Change is comin' 'round real soon, make us women and men

Oh yeah, life goes on

Long after the thrill of livin' is gone

Oh yeah, life goes on

Long after the thrill of livin' is gone

Two American kids doin' the best they can
