stephen sondheim - bobbie and jackie and jack كلمات الأغنية

charley
nineteen-sixty

beth
it’s nineteen-sixty

frank
and gosh, what a swell year it’s been!

all three
so many blessings
such wonders it has brought
you hardly know where to begin:
there’s xerox and lasers
the twist and the pill
a city in brazil

beth
that no one wants to fill?

all three
krushchev stopped screaming
and librium came in

charley
and nixon didn’t win

all three
goodbye then to ike and the br-ss
to years that were cozy but cr-ss
it’s true ike was icky
but better him than d-cky?
now meet the first first family with cl-ss
en m-sse

charley
there’s bobby

beth
and jackie

frank
and jack

all three
and myriads more in the back:
there’s ethel and teddy and pat alone

charley
plus eunice

beth
and peter

frank
and jean

ted
and joan

charley
and what’s his name?

beth
stephen

frank
and hold the phone ?
the one in the army ?

others
one in the army?

frank
captain? major?

charley
sargeant!

frank
that’s it!

all three
so many cards in the pack
you want to know how to keep track?
well, one is good looking and young and rich
while one is good looking and young and rich
the rest are good looking and young and rich
there isn’t a lot that they lack
not bobby and jackie and jack
and ethel and ted and eunice
and pat and joan and steve and peter and jean and sarge?
there’s probably dozens of others at large
god knows!
and joe and rose
we’re bringing back style to the white house

beth
i’m painting it beige for a start

all three
we’re making it into a cultural lighthouse
for glamour and beauty and art

beth
evenings of the budapest playing vivaldi
and munch doing bits of ravel
i’ll get leontyne price to sing her
medley from “meistersinger”
and margot fonteyn to dance “giselle.”

charley
together?

both
won’t it be perfectly swell?

frank
we’ll have bernstein play next
on the bechstein piano

charley
and auden read poems and stuff

beth
and galina vishnevskaya?

frank and charley
gesundheit!

beth
the russian soprano
just pr-nouncing her name is refreshing enough!

all three
we’re bringing back style to the white house
with casual culture the rule

frank
let’s have tebaldi?

charley
she makes a guy feel good

beth
and oleg c-ssini?
well, i think he’s real good

charley
and how about heifetz?

beth
and callas!

frank
and gielgud!

all three
and later, when everything’s cool
we’ll push them all into the pool

frank
alright bobby, i’ll make you attorney general. now get off my back!

charley
with bobby

beth
and jackie

frank
and jack

all three
the white house is under attack

frank
eight years is the limit but eight will do

charley
by then there’ll be bobby?

ted
and teddy, too?

beth
or peter or stephen?

frank and charley
or even you?

beth
and then there’s the colonel ?

frank and charley
colonel?

beth
major??

frank and charley
major?

beth
you know ? !

frank
sargeant

beth
yes

all three
dozens to take up the slack
if anything goes out of whack

frank
and some day elections will be unknown

beth
’cause each of our kids will ascend the throne

charley
and their kids will have more kids of their own?

frank
it’s sort of a family knack?

all three
till half of the nation’s
made up of relations
of bobby and jackie and jack
and ethel and ted and eunice and pat and joan
and steve and peter and jean and sarge
and joe and rose and rows and rows and rows
and rows and rows and rows
the decade is starting anew
and maybe the country is, too
