John F. Kennedy Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
President John F. Kennedy,
came to office in 1960.
He said that all should be
treated right
in public facilities,
no matter if your black or white.
He said this too:

(Chorus 1)
"Ask not what your country, can do for you.
Ask what you can do for your country."
"Mankind must put an end
to war or war will put
an end to mankind."

(Verse 1 again)
President John F. Kennedy
came to office in 1960.
He said that all should be treated right
in public facilities,
no matter if your black or white.

(Ending)
President John F. Kennedy,
said, "ask what you can do for your country."

John F. Kennedy Rap Lyrics:

Yo, yo, here we go.
President John F. Kennedy
was born in 1917.
Of nine children he was the second,
born to Rose and Joseph.
Joined the Navy, 1941,
commander of a PT boat squadron,
commander of a PT boat squadron.
(clap & snap two times)

In 1946 he ran for Congress.
1960 became President.
Improved American social conditions,
like health care, housing and education.
Delivered his speech for the civil rights movement,
1963 on June eleventh,
1963 on June eleventh.
(clap & snap two times)

On the Cuban Missile Crisis, he was great!
He solved it in such a brilliant way!
Missiles built by Soviet Union,
Kennedy said "You must remove them!"
Threatened war if they didn't obey.
The world stood on edge for thirteen days.
The world stood on edge for thirteen days.
(clap & snap two times)

Soviet Premier backed down and complied.
Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty was signed.
Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty was signed.
(clap & snap two times)

Through the streets of Dallas he was driven,
that's when somebody shot and killed him.
November 22nd 1963,
America mourned for Kennedy,
America mourned for Kennedy.
(clap & snap two times)

Yo, yo, John F. Kennedy.
Yo, yo, John F. Kennedy.
(clap & snap two times)

John F. Kennedy.
(clap & snap two times)
