Verse 1

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
|
|
The Declaration late at night
|
|
So he and his wife had a great big fight

And she made him sleep on the couch all night
|
|
|
Verse 2

James Monroe's colossal nose
|
|
Was bigger than Pinocchio's

|
John Quincy Adams was number six
|
|
And it's Andrew Jackson' butt he kicks

So Jackson learns to play politics
|

Next time he's the one that the country picks
|
|

For a one term shot as Chief of State

Young and fierce was Franklin Pierce

The man without a chin

Verse 5

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 drinking whiskey, although risky
|
|
'Cause he'd spill it on his pants
|
|
|
Verse 6
|
|
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

Takes us nito 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!
|
|
|
Verse 9
|
|
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
|
|
|
Verse 10

Jimmy Carter liked camping 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.

That's Democrats and the GOP
|

But the ones in charge are plain to see
|
|
The Clintons, Bill and Hillary
|
