(A timely re -post on this 50th anniversary)

 

President Kennedy, won’t you come back to me

Tell me all you know,

Tell me about Marilyn Monroe

 

Tell me about Oswald, Ruby and J Edgar Hoover,

The CIA and their secret manoeuvres

Tell me about the Oil men and the FBI,

The five star generals and the new frontier.

 

Tell me about the missile crisis and the U2 flights

Tell me about Cuba and the Bay of pigs

Tell me about Civil Rights and Martin Luther King,

Bobby and Lyndon and that sort of thing

 

Tell me about Castro and Khrushchev and the missile crisis

The Green Berets and Vietnam

Tell me about Jimmy Hoffa and his crooked schemes

I'm sure you know just what I mean.

 

President Kennedy, won’t you come back to me

Tell me all you know,

But most of all

Tell me about Marilyn Monroe
