[00:00:05] Travelling's the fun

[00:00:08] Flashing by the countryside

[00:00:11] Merrily we roll along roll along

[00:00:14] Catching at dreams

[00:00:18] Yesterday is done

[00:00:20] See the pretty countryside

[00:00:24] Everybody merrily merrily 1961

[00:00:27] Some roads are easy

[00:00:29] Some rides are breezy

[00:00:31] Some roads the ride gets out of control

[00:00:34] Grinds to a halt and ends in a hole

[00:00:37] Some roads you stall before you can roll

[00:00:43] 1960 it's 1960

[00:00:48] And gosh what a swell year it's been

[00:00:52] So many blessings

[00:00:54] Such wonders it has brought

[00:00:56] You hardly know where to begin

[00:01:00] There's xerox and lasers

[00:01:03] The twist and the pill

[00:01:05] A city in Brazil

[00:01:06] That no one wants to fill

[00:01:08] Khrushchev stopped screaming

[00:01:10] And Librium came in

[00:01:12] And Nixon didn't win

[00:01:16] Goodbye then to Ike and the brass

[00:01:19] To years that were cozy but crass

[00:01:23] It's true Ike was icky

[00:01:25] But better him than Dicky

[00:01:26] Now meet the first First Family with class

[00:01:30] En masse

[00:01:44] There's Bobby and Jackie and Jack

[00:01:46] And myriads more in the back

[00:01:48] There's Ethel and Teddy and Pat alone

[00:01:51] Plus Eunice and Peter and Jean and Joan

[00:01:53] And what's his name Stephen

[00:01:54] And hold the phone the one in the army

[00:01:56] One in the army

[00:01:57] Captain Major Sargent

[00:01:59] That's it

[00:02:00] So many cards in the pack

[00:02:01] You want to know how to keep track

[00:02:04] Well one is good looking and young and rich

[00:02:06] While one is good looking and young and rich

[00:02:08] The rest are good looking and young and rich

[00:02:12] There isn't a lot that they lack

[00:02:14] Not Bobby and Jackie and Jack

[00:02:16] And Ethel and Ted and Eunice

[00:02:17] And Pat and Joan

[00:02:18] And Steve and Peter

[00:02:19] And Jean and Sarge

[00:02:21] There's probably dozens of others at large

[00:02:23] God knows

[00:02:25] And Joe and Rose

[00:02:35] We're bringing back style to the White House

[00:02:39] I'm painting it cream for a start

[00:02:43] We're making it into a cultural lighthouse

[00:02:48] For glamour and beauty and art

[00:02:52] Evenings of the Budapest playing Vivaldi

[00:02:56] And Munch doing bits of Ravel

[00:03:00] I'll get Leontyne Price to sing her medley from Meistersinger

[00:03:05] And Margot Fonteyn to dance Giselle

[00:03:08] Together

[00:03:09] Won't it be perfectly swell

[00:03:15] We'll have Bernstein play next on the Bechstein pianer

[00:03:19] And Auden read poems and stuff

[00:03:23] And Galina Vishnevskya

[00:03:27] The Russian soprano

[00:03:30] Just pronouncing her name is refreshing enough

[00:03:36] We're bringing back style to the White House

[00:03:41] With casual culture the rule

[00:03:45] Let's have Tebaldi

[00:03:48] She makes a guy feel good

[00:03:51] And Oleg Cassini

[00:03:53] Well I think he's real good

[00:03:56] And how about Heifetz

[00:03:58] And Callas

[00:03:59] And Gielgud

[00:04:02] And later when everything's cool

[00:04:06] We'll push them all into the pool hahaha

[00:04:11] With Bobby and Jackie and Jack

[00:04:13] The White House is under attack

[00:04:15] Eight years is the limit but eight will do

[00:04:18] By then there'll be Bobby and Teddy too

[00:04:20] Or Peter or Stephen or even you ooh

[00:04:24] And then there's the Colonel

[00:04:25] Colonel Major Major

[00:04:27] You know

[00:04:27] Sargent yes

[00:04:29] Dozens to take up the slack

[00:04:30] If anything goes out of whack

[00:04:33] And some day elections will be unknown

[00:04:35] 'Cause each of our kids will ascend the throne

[00:04:39] And their kids have more kids with kids of their own

[00:04:43] It's sort of a family knack

[00:04:45] Till most of the nation's made up of relations

[00:04:48] Of Bobby and Jackie and Jack

[00:04:49] And Ethel and Ted and Eunice and Pat and Joan

[00:04:52] And Steve and Peter and Jean and Sarge

[00:04:54] And Joe and Rose and rows and rows

[00:04:56] And rows and rows and rows and rows

[00:04:58] The decade is starting anew

[00:05:04] And maybe the country is too
