The Love Song of E. Moore Kennedy

 

Let us go then, you and I

Trust me baby, I wont lie

Er-uh now where did that road fly, from underneath our feet?

Taking a turn and no headlights on pushed the Olds Delmont

With you in the rear, and me in the front of our gas-guzzling boiler room casket

To just over the edge in our formal wear

                                           

Into the Chappaquiddick we go

lifeless as a Michelangelo

 

Well, here I don’t go again

Listless and incoherent and far from my brother’s legacy

Slowly circling down the drain

So do I dare reach down, do I dare?

reach past my senate chair?

It seems a bad lottery for the neck of Ted upon the auction floor

Oh, what a big head that Ted has

How does he get through his door?

Or how does he miss the dock, where his car is moored?

 

Into the Chappaquiddick we go

Lifeless as a Michelangelo
