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
