Now Give Three Cheers/When I Was a Lad

Madame X

	Michael Kennedy:
Now give three cheers, I'll lead the way--
Hoorah! Hoorah! Hooray! Hooray!

	Reporters:
All those bumptious Kennedys
Like to play football on skis,
So one day Michael gave the slopes a glance,
And so did his sisters and his cousins and his aunts,
And so did his sisters and his cousins and his aunts,
His sisters and his cousins and his aunts!

Down the hill he thought he'd ride,
As to catch the ball he tried,
So he skiied down the slope by the seat of his pants, 
And so did his sisters and his cousins and his aunts,
And so did his sisters and his cousins and his aunts,
His sisters and his cousins and his aunts!

But, sad to say, a tree
Put an end to Kennedy.
And the papers said that he took a silly chance,
And so did his sisters and his cousins and his aunts,
His sisters and his cousins that he reckoned by the dozens,
And his aunts!

	JFK, Jr.:
When I was a lad I was young and cute
I looked like an angel in my small tweed suit.
At my father's funeral tho' my face turned red,
I saluted at his coffin just like mother said.
	Staff of People:
He saluted at the coffin just like Jackie said!
	JFK, Jr.:
I saluted at the coffin so touchingly,
That now I am the scion of the Kennedys!
	Staff of People:
He saluted at the coffin so touchingly,
That now he is the scion of the Kennedys!


	JFK, Jr.
At law school I tried to do my best,
Tho' it took several tries before I passed the test.
I studied all the questions on my cross-town runs,
And Caroline helped me with the hardest ones!
	Caroline
Yes, I had to help him with the hardest ones!
	JFK, Jr.
I passed the test on try number three,
And now I am the scion of the Kennedys!
	Staff of People
He passed that test on try number three,
And now he is the scion of the Kennedys!

	JFK, Jr.
I dropped that career like a red-hot forge, 
And I started editing a thing called George.
I wanted to be seen as a literary sage,
I so posed nude upon the op-ed page!
	Single Girls
So we went to stores and stole that op-ed page!
	JFK, Jr.
I edited that mag so successfully,
That now I am the scion of the Kennedys!
	Staff of People
He edited that mag so successfully, 
That now he is the scion of the Kennedys!

	JFK, Jr.
In Central Park I played summer sports,
And went roller-blading in my jockey shorts.
I showed my body just for fun and laughs--
But I got real annoyed if they took photographs!
	Paparazzi
Yes, he got pissed-off when we took photographs!
	JFK, Jr.
I showed so very very much of me
That now I am the scion of the Kennedys!
	Staff of People
He showed so very very much of he
That now he is the scion of the Kennedys!


	JFK, Jr.
So dear Prince William take these tips from me
If you want to rise to the top of the tree.
Keep your mouth shut tight and your suits well-pressed,
And jog through Regent's Park while you are half-undressed!
	Staff of Hello!
Yes, Regent's Park when you are half-undressed!
	JFK, Jr.
Stay out of cars and off of skis,
And you'll be scion like this Kennedy!
	Staff of Hello!
Stay out of cars and off of skis,
And you will grace our cover like a Kennedy!
