The Presidents lyrics

Heigh ho, do ya know

The names of the U. S. residents

Who then became the Presidents

And got a view from the White House loo of Pennsylvania Avenue...

George Washington was the first you see, he once chopped down a cherry tree

President number two would be John Adams and then number three

Tom Jefferson stayed up to write, a declaration late at night

So he and his wife had a great big fight, and she made him sleep on the couch all night.

James Madison never had a son, and he fought the War of 1812.

James Monroe's Colossal nose was bigger than Pinocchio's

John Quincy Adams was number six, and it's Andrew Jackson's butt he kicks

So Jackson learns to play politics, next time he's the one that the country picks

Martin Van Buren, number eight, for a one term shot as Chief of State

William Harrison, how do you praise? That guy was dead in thirty days!

John Tyler he liked country folk, and after him came President Polk

Zachary Taylor liked to smoke, his breath killed friends whenever he spoke

1850, really nifty, Millard Fillmore's in...

Young and fierce was Franklin Pierce, the man without a chin...

Follows next a period spannin', four long years with James Buchanan

Then the South starts shootin' cannons, and we've got a civil war.

A war, a war down South in Dixie!

Up to bat comes old Abe Lincoln

There's a guy who's really thinkin'

Kept the United States from shrinkin', saved the ship of state from sinkin'.

Andrew Johnson's next, he had some slight defects

Congress each would impeach

And so the country now elects...

Ulysses Simpson Grant, who would scream and rave and rant

While drinkin' whiskey, although risky cause he'd spill it on his pants.

It's 1877 and the Democrats would gloat, but they're all amazed when Rutherford Hayes wins by just one vote.

James Garfield someone really hated, 'cause he was assassinated

Chester Arthur gets instated, four years later he was traded...

For Grover Cleveland, really fat, elected twice as a Democrat

Then Benjamin Harrison, after that it's William McKinley up to bat

Teddy Roosevelt charged up San Juan Hill

And President Taft, he got the bill

In 1913, Woodrow Wilson

Takes us into World War I!

Warren Harding next in line, it's Calvin Coolidge; he does fine

And then in 1929, the market crashes and we find

It's Herbert Hoover's big debut, he gets the blame and loses to

Franklin Roosevelt, President who helped us win in World War II.

Harry Truman, weird little human, serves two terms and when he's done

It's Eisenhower who's got the power from '53 to '61.

John Kennedy had Camelot, then Lyndon Johnson took his spot

Richard Nixon he gets caught, and Gerald Ford fell down a lot

Jimmy Carter liked campaign trips

And Ronald Reagan's speeches scripts all came from famous movie clips and President Bush said, "Read my lips."

Now in Washington D.C

There's Democrats and the G.O.P

But the ones in charge are plain to see

The Clintons, Bill and Hillary!

The next President to lead the way...

Well, it just might be yourself one day...

Then the press'll distort everything you say...

So jump in your plane and fly away!
