Letra de Goin’ Places

[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
(singing)
Pick up some medals overseas
Kick the butts of those S-O-B’s
Zip back home
Get married and gain respect
(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 pеnsive smile
And fearlеss style
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!
(singing)
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
(spoken)
Remember Joe, it’s not what you wear
[KENNEDY, spoken]
Oh no?
[EDIE, spoken]
It’s how you wear it!
[BOTH]
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
(singing)
With your Colgate grin, Dick Tracy chin
That Hollywood film star sheen
[BOTH]
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
[BOTH]
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!
