Someday Redux 1950s

I want to live in candy box pictures
maybe old valentines
and live on lemon drops

tootsie roll pops
pop soap bubbles
with a golden pin

and play the record again
the way I played it then
the nursery sing a long song

when the world could hold no wrong
but the throng singing
cobbler, cobbler mend my shoe

this won't do said alice
frowning in a gown of Alice Blue
you've got to grow up, not down

but we sang all the way to town
we're going to buy ribbons
and lilac perfume

and someday man
will go to the moon
