JFK Lyrics by Alice Playten, Reathel Bean, Aisha de Haas, Harrison Chad, Chandra Wilson

Caroline, or Change (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2004

[GRANDMA & GRANDPA GELLMAN]
JFK, JFK
Beat the Russians, saved the day
Stopped the Jew-haters and their bomb
Stopped their nuclear pogrom
Dedicated to undo
American anti-Semites, too
Friend to the colored, friend to the Jew
"Ask not what your country
Can do for you"
[DOTTY]
JFK, JFK
Swore to help black folk someday
Sure he was a little slow
Getting 'round to doing so
But he swore it and I know
He was set to help our cause
Meant to pass some proper laws
[DOTTY, GRANDMA & GRANDPA GELLMAN]
Toleration for all men
We shall not see his likе again
He is gone now, JFK
[DOTTY]
Our almost-friend is gonе away
[NOAH]
Dimes and quarters
Under water
[NOAH & THE MOON]
Where the moon can’t send her beams
[THE MOON]
Moon change
Moon change
