GUEST,Alan Aronson songs on life, times & assassination of JFK (70* d) RE: songs on life, times & assassination of JFK 16 Apr 11


In case anyone is still looking for the lyrics to the John F. Kennedy song that is part of the "Sing a Song of Presidents" collection as recorded by the unforgettable Peter Pan Orchestra, here they are:


[chorus:] John F. Kennedy
A remarkable young man is he
At age forty-three
Elected to the presidency

He was born in 1917
The seond child of nine
In the state of Massachusetts
In the city of Brookline

His grandad was a mayor
His dad ambassabor
He graduated Harvard
Then gave service in the war

[chorus]

As commander of a PT boat
He got the purple heart
He was a combat hero
And he bravely did his part

He served his country proudly
And when the war was won
The hero of the Solomons
Went on to Washington

[chorus]

And for three terms he served
theHouse of Representatives
And after that a senator
He gave all he could give

A senator this Democrat
Worked harder and did strive
Til he became the president
Number thirty-five

[chorus]
