Has anyone in this room got any information on a 1960's Children's 45rpm record - song.
A title and/or artist a label - anything?
Again...the song goes something like this:

"John F. Ken-ne-dy, What a remarkable Young Man Was He, at age forty-three, was elected to the president-cy,.He was born in 1917 the second child of nine...in the State of Massachusetts in the City of the blind. ""

I am looking for these lyrics also, tried the Kennedy library site, will see if they answer my email. As I remember, the line was
"in the state of Massachusetts, in the city of 'Brooklyn"
and then continues "his grandad was the mayor, his dad ambassador, he graduated Harvard then gave service in the war" etc Anyone else been able to remember or locate the rest of the lyrics? Another verse was about Kennedy rescueing people on the PT109....
