Here's a song that came out right after John Kennedy jr. was born.

THERE'S A NEW MAN IN THE WHITE HOUSE
by Tepper and Bennett (ABC Paramount 45 rpm record #45-10178)
Art

November 1960 will go down in history,
They danced the jig in Dublin and in Washington D.C.
For a little while there it was nip and tuck,
Now Democrats and Republicans are wishing him good luck.

chorus)
There's a new man in the White House,
And everyone's shouting hip-hooray-ay-ay-ay,
There's a new man in the White House,
And we've got a hunch he's gonna do O.K-E-N-N-E-D-Y

There's going to be some changes made the White House never saw,
That stately hall aint' never seen the likes of him at all,
He's got a way of charming honey from a bee,
He's the pride of the U.S.A. and all his family.

chorus)

He's sitting in the White House on the highest chair of all,
He's going to make us stand up; with our help he'll never fall,
He's the very youngest White House resident,
And begorrah his daddy is the youngest president.

chorus)

There's a new man in the White House,
And everybody's shouting hip-hooray-ay-ay-ay,
For the young man in the White House,
Three cheers for baby John F. Kennedy.
