Kennedy and Khrushchev Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I have confidence in Kennedy
Khrushchev ain't mean nothing to me
All Khrushchev do is laying threats
But I will bet he will regret
Kennedy is a genius
Khrushchev playing robust
Always talking tough
Finally Kennedy called his bluff

[Chorus]
And make him turn them ships in the opposite direction
(Kennedy is the master)
Any retaliation will be met with explosion
(Kennedy will take care of him)
Stop them, search them
Sink them to the bottom of the ocean
(Kennedy is the master)
Hear your voice if you second the motion

[Verse 2]
World wide communism they want to spread
But me mother said she rather dead
Than live in a world of communism
She will drink poison
But poison ain't necessary
Not as long as we have Kennedy
Together with Canada, England, and France
Nikita Khrushchev ain't stand a chance

[Chorus]
We make him turn them ships in the opposite direction
(Kennedy is the master)
Any retaliation will be met with explosion
(Kennedy will take care of him)
Stop them, search them
Sink them to the bottom of the ocean
(Kennedy is the master)
Let me hear your voice if you second the motion

[Verse 3]
We ain't want no war not again
But it is plain we ain't go remain
And let communism just step in
And ain't do nutten that never happen
We got brains, we got weapon
To stifle Russian aggression
Don't make a fool of you in space
Kennedy will put Khrushchev in place

[Chorus]
And make him turn them ships in the opposite direction
(Kennedy is the master)
Any retaliation will be met with explosion
(Kennedy will take care of him)
Stop them, search them
Sink them to the bottom of the ocean
(Kennedy is the master)
Let me hear you loud if you second the motion

[Verse 4]
Castro try and remember
It's America, not Batista
So don't be too quick to fight
Try and see the light you taking too much of a big bite
Kruschev is a mad man
But still he ain't go die for no Cuban
He'll give you weapons and that is all
And when you die he'll come to your funeral
You ain't see how he

[Chorus]
Turn them ships in the opposite direction
(Kennedy is the master)
Any retaliation will be met with explosion
(Kennedy is the master)
Well, that's a Cuban jam session
Louder!

(Thank you!)
