She's a ramblin' rovin' bovine with a gatlin gun

Today was nice. I went to Burbank and picked up way more 7th Sea books than I needed to buy, and had lunch with Anne after a trip up to Griffith Park, where I had never been before, and hiked horse trails and runoff trails and deer tracks and annoyed a coyote.

This amused me a great deal. Thank you Spenser Aloysius.

I want to find the lyrics to 'Kennedy Jig'. I can pick up pieces, like your father's a jerk, and your mother's a drunk, and your brother is dead, and your brother is dead, and of course you'll never be prez cuz your car doesn't float, but I want to know it *all*!

Speaking of... I heard an ugly rumor that The Big Dig is actually completed. Julian? Anybody with confirmation or denial on this?

Scattered thoughts for scattered times.

I want to find the lyrics to 'Kennedy Jig'.

That is so strange, I had the damned thing stuck in my head the other night for HOURS. To whit:

Oh your mother is old
And your father is dead
And your brother is dead
And your brother is dead
And your brother is dead
And your kid has one leg
And your ex is a lush
And your car doesn't float.

I'm sure there are other variations, but that's the one I learned back in the early 90s, when Rose Kennedy was still alive.

Perhaps I should burn you a copy of the Boiled in Lead boys performing it. With, as is their wont, electric guitar.

I love that particular rendition, and have also often wished for a full lyrics set of it, as I get stuck right around where you've mentioned. May have to swap out Alloy for your mix, come to think of it, when next I'm in my car.
