I was there filming young Jack Kennedy,
taking my movie near a grassy knoll.
Little did I know how famous I’d be.
Along the road people lined up to see;
hail to the president a noble goal.
I was there filming young Jack Kennedy.
The motorcade passed with alacrity;
I saw how stately the limousines roll.
Little did I know how famous I’d be.
The path of bullets was open and free;
grisly and bloody the cranium hole.
I was there filming young Jack Kennedy.
Jacqueline turned to an agent in plea;
he jumped right in without need of cajole.
Little did I know how famous I’d be.
Lost was my balance at this tragedy;
this senseless killing exacted a toll.
I was there filming young Jack Kennedy;
little did I know how famous I’d be.
