Verses 1-4 (Blues riff in E)
I drink, and I drive
I’m the only one in my car who gets out alive
Ted Kennedy
You vote, and I win
The Bishop says carousing is a cardinal sin
But, the Cardinal’s on the payroll, so I’ll do it again
Ted Kennedy, woah-oh
Ted Kennedy
I’m dead, and I’m gone
I used to play touch football on the White House lawn
Bobby Kennedy
Big smile, big hair
Jackie married Harry, and I really don’t care
I had sex with Marilyn in my rockin’ chair
Jack Kennedy woah-oh
Mr. President
Drum break (8 measures)
("Ask not what your country…” & car crash/splash sound effects)

Verses 5-6 (Blues riff in E)
I’m a joke, you don’t know
I was supposed to be the president,
but I died in the war!
Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr.
Well, I’m dad, and I’m bad
I was an ignorant bootlegger and a genuine cad
I didn’t think that Hitler was really so bad.
Master Kennedy, woah-oh
Master Kennedy
