I’ll tell you a tale if you promise not to laugh
Lincoln’s on the penny
Kennedy is on the half
A
Kennedy faces left
Like he's looking for a fight
E
And for whatever reason,
Lincoln faces right

It's a weird little thing

I remember reading a long time ago
When I was a kid
Well, Lincoln's secretary's name was Kennedy
And I’m thinkin' Kennedy's secretary's name was Mrs. Lincoln
Mrs. Lincoln told her boss not to go out that sad day
Mrs. Kennedy told Lincoln not to see the play
chorus
Oswald shot from a warehouse that he hid in a theater rooftop
Lincoln in theater that he hid in a warehouse
Both their vice presidents had the same name
And the number of letters in their name is the same
chorus
(harmonica solo)
Lincoln was elected in 1860
Kennedy was elected in 1960
Whoever gets elected in 2060
Better be aware
Better be alive
chorus
