about

Mamie Eisenhower

lyrics

just what the country ordered after our boys came home
time to create a new normal, better than the one before
maybe that was a job for mamie
the eisenhowers kept climbing higher, a hero that earned his fame
Traveling the world as a soldier, ike was a household name
and mamie was the general’s lady

bobbed her hair/kept her bangs the entire time
a certain normalcy defined
living a new cliche
for eight years she played it safe
a definition fifties wife
colorizing black and white
A good friend that could relate//a good friend in mamie pink
Bringing in a brand/future new age

serving casserole in the white house, wearing out an old dress
they were used to being resourceful, living on a military check
mamie was still a middle class first lady

similar to FLOTUS before her, but not outspoken/active like eleanor
even though the public adored her, she’s been outshined by jackie O
poor mamie has been forgotten lately
