Jackie Onassis - Live at the Roadrunner

[Verse 1]

I'm about to tell a story that I haven't yet

'Bout the most intelligent woman that I ever met

She looked like Jackie Onassis

Top of her classes

I'm doin' my best just passin' by

I'm so funny in my body I can barely walk

And I'm so full of them funny feelings I could barely talk

And here comes Jackie Onassis

I don’t need to ask it

Have you ever seen a woman so fine?

She said, "Come on out just a couple hours

We gonna have a real good time"

And I tell her, "Where ya goin', where ya goin', when ya comin' home?"

Somеbody in the front seat calls out, "Everyonе

Quit wastin' our time!

Gotta hit the road and hit the road, hit the road"

There they go and there they go and I was on my own

[Verse 2]

I ain't never spoke my mind up in a crowded place

I ain't got no cool demeanor and smooth talkin' ways

'Cause I ain't like Jackie Onassis

Girls in sunglasses

Lookin' me up like I'm part of some game

And then altercation happened 'round the tenth of May

Some poorly dressed spectator had somethin' unkind to say

It comes back to me in flashes

I get risky, there's a swing and a miss

And I'm all ashamed, oh

I was all ashamed

When she found me I was in pieces

Cryin' hard into my hat

She tell me, "Mama, you look lovely when you take a stand"

And I tell her, "No one's ever been so kind to me

And I thank you for that"

She said, "Here you go and here you go, here you go"

Took her hair out the bow, laid that ribbon in my hand

Sing it Boston!

[Chorus]

Here we go!

Look at that lady

She carries herself right, she's singin'

Oh, ah, woah, ah, woah, ah

She's the first lady

To walk me through the night, singin'

Oh, ah, woah, ah, woah, ah

[Verse 3]

I got sunny days on a track field

Laughin' hard, just me and mine

I got a great part in the spring play after all, yes I did

Got my rose pink tinted glasses

And they fit me just fine

I let it go and let it go, let it go

Ba-ba-doo, ba-ba-doo

Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]

Here we go!

Look at that lady

She carries herself right, she's singin'

Oh, ah, woah, ah, woah, oh

She's the first lady

To walk me through the night, I'm singin'

Oh

Look at that lady

She carries herself right, singin'

Oh, woah

And she's the first lady

Oh walked me through the night, I'm singin'

Oh, woah, ah, woah, ah

Sing it!

Look at that lady

Little miss thing carries herself right, she's singin'

Woah, woah

And she's the first lady

Hold my hand, understand and walk me through the night, singin'

Ah, woo

Look at that lady

She carries herself right, singin'

Woah, woah

And she's the first lady

Walk me through the night, singin'

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oooh

Ah

Oh-hah

Oooh, yeah

[Outro]

Thank you so much

Boston

We love you so much

Listen Boston, isn’t being queer like the most wonderful thing that there is to be

I had a feeling you were out there

Listen, I’ll give it to you short

This is my perspective, right: To be queer is to be unlimited

Sorry, to be queer is to be…?

And I believe that every single person has the potential to be unlimited and be anything that they want to be

If they work hard enough and they’re a good enough person

But I think queer folk are particularly inept at this

Because we have had to and we have given ourselves permission to change so many times and we have been so triumphant every single time

Isn’t that wonderful?

So if you’re queer and you’re in this room thank you for trusting us

We see you and we love you

And if you’re an ally and you’re in this room, thank you

We see you and we love you

With that being said, thank you for joining us on the If It All Goes South Tour everybody
