Goin’ Places

Lyrics

[KENNEDY] Me and the old man mapped it out Fastest road to the senate floor Youngest man to be senator elect [EDIE, spoken] How so? [KENNEDY, spoken] The usual way [KENNEDY] Pick up some medals overseas Kick the butts of those S-O-B's Zip back home Get married and gain respect [KENNEDY, spoken] I'll fly back here to East Hampton, scoop you right up into the cockpit! [EDIE, spoken] My hair! [KENNEDY] Kid, we're goin' places Goin' places ya never dreamed to see As your social graces give some panache to me [EDIE, spoken] I'll do my best [KENNEDY] With your pensivе smile And fearless stylе That debonaire joie de vivre Kid, we're goin' places Your mama won't believe! [EDIE, spoken] You know the trouble with the White House, Joe? It could use a little color! [EDIE] Picture the White House I'd restore Not to criticize Elinor Home decor just isn't her stocking trade [KENNEDY, spoken] You dress up any room just by being in it! [EDIE] And as a former Waldorf deb I'll make fashion my cause célèbre Call it my American style crusade [EDIE, spoken] Remember Joe, it's not what you wear [KENNEDY, spoken] Oh no? [EDIE, spoken] It's how you wear it! [EDIE & KENNEDY] Kid, we're goin' places Goin' places we never dreamed we'd get [KENNEDY] As our love's embraces fill up the bassinet [EDIE, spoken] Slow down, not yet [EDIE] With your Colgate grin, Dick Tracy chin That Hollywood film star sheen [EDIE & KENNEDY] Kid we're goin' places The nation's never seen! New worlds await Beyond the garden gate [KENNEDY] As long as we've each other [EDIE] As long as I escape my mother [KENNEDY, spoken] Your mother? Shouldn't I be the one that matters most? [EDIE, spoken] But you are, of course you are! [KENNEDY, spoken] The way you talk, a fella could forget [EDIE, spoken] You're the only one on my dance card [EDIE & KENNEDY] All the signs are good So knock on wood We're gonna be a-okay Cuz the place we're goin' We're goin' all the way We're goin' all the way [KENNEDY] We're goin' all the way We're goin' all the way!
