Harry Truman was our president

A coke and burger cost you thirty cents

I Love Lucy debuted on TV
         B7                      E      
That was one big event we didn't see
                                      A 
Cause no one stayed at home for miles around   A-------0-|

Momma ironed my shirt and daddy let me take the truck

A thousand people sweltered in the gym
       B7                               E      
Then I heard someone whisper hey that's him
                                             A
That's when the crowd let out this deafening sound
