High Hopes (with Jack Kennedy) Lyrics

[Post-Chorus]
Everyone is voting for Jack
'Cause he's got what all the rest lack
Everyone wants to back Jack
Jack is on the right track

[Chorus]
'Cause he's got high hopes, he's got high hopes
1960's the year for his high hopes

[Hook]
Come on and vote for Kennedy, vote for Kennedy
And we'll come out on top
Oops, there goes the opposition, ker-
Oops, there goes the opposition, ker-
Oops, there goes the opposition, kerplop!

[Post-Chorus]
K-E-double N-E-D-Y
Jack's the nation's favorite guy
Everyone wants to back Jack
Jack is on the right track

[Chorus]
'Cause he's got high hopes, he's got high hopes
1960's the year for his high hopes
[Hook]
Come on and vote for Kennedy, vote for Kennedy
He'll keep America strong
Kennedy, he just keeps rollin' a-
Kennedy, he just keeps rollin' a-
Kennedy, he just keeps rollin' along! (Vote for Kennedy!)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
