CSo you went to a party at Jacqueline Onassis
If you're so smart, why don't you wear glasses?
So, yFou can see what you're doin' to Cme
So, you can sFee what tomorrow might Gbring
CUnderneath your breath you know I heard you cussin'
You were talkin' to my second cousin
Were Fyou talkin' about me? Were you talkin' aboCut me?
You better put on your gFlasses babe, so you can Csee
So, you can seFe what tomorrow might brCing
Can your FdaddCy get us bGackstage Cpasses?
You know that we love to dance
Can your FdaddCy give us baGckstage Cpasses 
GWith all his political powers?
With all his political powers?
With all his political powers?F  
It seems Clike to me, you could dance better than you do
CSo you went to a party at Jacqueline Onassis
If you're so smart, why don't you wear glasses?
So, yFou can see what you're doin' to Cme
So, you can sFee what tomorrow might Gbring
Can your FdaddCy get us bGackstage Cpasses?
You know that we love to dance

GWith all his political powers?
With all his political powers?
With all his political powers?F
