Текст песни Bobby and Jackie and Jack - Lin-Manuel Miranda, Betsy Wolfe and Colin Donnell

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: Good bye then to Ike and the brass,
To years that were cozy but crass.
It's true Ike was icky,
But better him than Dicky
Now meet the first First Family with class,
En masse.
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
BETH: 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: Sargent!
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
CHARLEY: For glamour
BETH: and beauty
FRANK: 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 Vishnevskya The Russian soprano
Just pronouncing 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 Cassini
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.
Hey, Bobby, toss it over here!
Okay Bobby, I′ll make you attorney general, just 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
FRANK: 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: Sargent.
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 most 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 and rows
The decade is starting anew,
And maybe the country is, too.
