Lyrics
Went to private school
With a boy named Jack
And we served in the Second World War
On to business school
Got an MBA
It was Harvard, okay, it was Harvard
Jack, he did some other things
And I liked him a lot
Yeah, I liked him a lot
Jack, he really had a way
So we stayed quite close
We were close, very close
He was from a family of politics
And he ran for an office or two
I was in the mix
With a plan in place
He would win it, quite sure he would win it
Work and sweat
In time, you bet
He would run, he would win
It was clear, very clear
I was there to coax
To care, to be sure
When he won, all the work would get done!
I was the guy in the room next door
He told me, "I take the room next door!"
Then him and me successfully
Went straight to the top
Best friends from high school!
Congress was a breeze
He was in like Flynn
And the people, they took him to heart
Like a thoroughbred
He was born to win
I was with him, I always was with him
Time went by
And Jack and I
Never changed what we were
Not for them, not for her
We were friends, yes
Friends for life
Though the Fifties arrived
Though he made her his wife
I was the guy in the room next door
Still, here was I in the room next door
He, she, and me, convincingly
The trio to beat!
Best friends from high school
Lam?
But Jackie wasn't always happy I was there
Lam?
She didn't understand
Lam?
Jack and I had something she could never share
Maybe
She didn't understand
Maybe you should take a break
