Heard this as the Ted Kennedy Jig. There was even more to it last time
I heard it, though. Anybody got more of it?

Rush Limbaugh (or more than likely one of his writers) came up with a great
Kennedy song that went to the tune of 'Day-O' by Harry Belafonte. I wish I
had the whole text of it with me so I could post all of it.
Some of it goes like this:
Kenneday-O, Kenneday, Kenneday, Kennedayyy-O
Kennedy clan is in trouble once more.
The entire text is in Rush's first book "The Way Things Ought To Be".
There is also another one in there about good old Ted called
'The Philanderer' which is sung to the tune of 'The Wanderer'. Maybe
someone with a copy of this book will kindly post it here for all to enjoy.

Rush cites the author of both songs as being Robert Wohlfeld.

Gladly!
The Philanderer
Oh, well I'm the type of guy who would never settle down
Where pretty girls are, well you know that I'm around
I kiss 'em and I love 'em 'cause to mne they're all the same
I get so gosh darned hammered, I don't even know their names
'Cause I'm a philanderer, yes a philanderer
I sleep around, around, around, around, around
All my views are on the left, got a bimbo on the right
Only God knows where I'll be passing out tonight
And if you want to ask me which girl I love the best
I'll tear open my shirt, got mother Rosie on my chest
'Cause I'm a philanderer, yes a philanderer
I sleep around, around, around, around, around
Oh yeah, I'm the type of guy, he likes to roam around
I'm never in on place, I wake from town to town
But when I find myself falling for some girl
I walk right to that car of mine and I take her for a whirl
The car skids round and round and round and round and round
(Kenna-Day-O follows...)

Kenna-day, Kenna-day, Kenna-day, Kenna-day-ay-o
Kennedy clan is in trouble once more
Say Mr. Kennedy put back your banana
Kennedy clan is in trouble once more
Uncle Ted is naked out on the veranda
Kennedy clan is in trouble once more
Late one night down in Palm Beach town
Kennedy clan is in trouble once more
Brought young girl back to the big compund
Kennedy clan is in trouble once more
Hormones. Hormones.
Kennedy clan is in trouble once more
Kenna-day-o, Kenna-day-ay-o
Kennedy clan is in trouble once more
Up in Chappaquiddick Teddy looked for romance
Kennedy clan is in trouble once more
JFK couldn't keep it in his own pants
Kennedy clan is in trouble once more
Kenna-day-o, Kenna-day-o
Kennedy clan is in trouble once more
Kenna-day-o, Kenna-day-o
Hormones are raging, they won't leave us alone

Thanks for posting those two jems! I know that there was yet another
Ted Kennedy song where Ted is making long distance dedications to various
bimbos while a singer sings a parody of 'You are so Beautiful' titled (I
think) 'Ted is so pitiful'. I have a copy of the song on tape and if I have
time I will try to transcribe it for you.

Sung to the tune of the "Irish Washer Woman" song, I suppose!
Beautiful, just beautiful!

: "OH.......
: My mother is old and my father dead
: and my brother is dead and my brother is dead
: and my brother is dead and my kid has one leg
: and my wife is a drunk and my car doesn't float."
I believe The Ted Kennedy Jig goes as follows:
OH.......
Your mother is old
And your father is dead
And your brother is dead
And your brother is dead
Your wife is a lush
And your sister's a veg.
Your kid broke his arm
And your car doesn't float.
