I'm Looking for a World
Skeeter Davis · What Does It Take (RCA Victor) [1967]
(John D. Loudermilk)
A paper pack of sugar a plastic spoon and knife
A paper cup a paper plate a different boy each night.
(I'm getting tired) of a paper and a plastic world
One that's not a lasting world that's how I feel
(I'm looking for) a silver and a crystal world
Not an artificial world but one that is real.
Shiny plastic flowers electronic steeple chimes
Seem to be becoming the symbols of our times.
I'm looking for a simple sandy suntan world
Not a handy sunlamp world but one that is true
(I'm searching for) the kind and honest joy
That I'll find in a boy like you...
