President Caroline
President Caroline Thibodeaux
Right here
Right here
What are you gonna do
Now that President Kennedy's dead?
Now you're the only President
In the United States
Gonna pass me a law
That night last longer
Gonna pass me a law
Larry come home from Vietnam
Wherever that is
Gonna pass me a law
No woman can be my age
And not know enough to read a map
Gonna pass me a law
That my heathen daughter
Don't never get hurt
Nor learn how to mind me
Nor learn how to mind nobody
'Cept herself
Gonna pass me a law
Say Nat King Cole
Gotta come over my house
Come over my house
Come over every night
And stroke my soul
Wish me good night
That not my job
How come?
How come you're so sad and angry all the time?
That ain't your business
It just ain't your business
You's a nosey child!
How come you like me?
I ain't never nice to you
That isn't true
The cigarette
Right, the cigarette
My mama liked you
I do, too
You're implacable
Indestructible
Mama said
I'm always sad
I like it that you're always mad
And I can tell you like me, too
