Catholic Day Songtext
von Adam and the Ants

Kennedy died in ′63
Poor John F
Kennedy died in '63
Poor John F
Kennedy died in ′63
Poor John F
Kennedy
Poor John F
Kennedy

No more messing 'round, playing with Monroe
(Oh-oh playing with Monroe)
No more turning on the middle aged ladies
(Oh-oh the middle aged ladies)
All I remember was your sporty young hairstyle
(Oh-oh your sporty young hairstyle)
All I remember was the Catholic day


Kennedy died in '63
Poor John F
Kennedy′s wife with his brain on her knee
Poor Jackie
Kennedy′s wife with his brain on her knee
Poor Jackie
Kennedy
Poor Jackie
Kennedy

No more rocking chairs, sitting on the front porch
(Oh-oh sitting on the front porch)
No more soft drugs, playing the space race
(Oh-oh playing in the space race)
All I remember was your Levi Sta-Prest
(Oh-oh your Levi Sta-Prest)
All I remember was the Catholic day

For you and I are privileged to serve the great Republic
In what could be the most decisive decade in its long history
The choices we make, for good or ill
Will affect the welfare of generations, yet unborn

In the world beyond our borders
(I see the chickens have come home to roost)
Steady progress has been made in building a world of order
(I see the chickens have come home to roost)
The people of West Berlin remain free and secure
(I see the chickens have come home to roost)
A settlement, though still precarious, has been reached in Laos


No more messing 'round, playing with Monroe
(Oh-oh playing with Monroe)
No more turning on the middle aged ladies
(Oh-oh the middle aged ladies)
All I remember was your sporty young hairstyle
(Oh-oh your sporty young hairstyle)
All I remember was the Catholic day
