The Presidents

Y:

Heigh ho!

Do you know,

The names of the US 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

D:President number two would be

John Adams and then Number three

Y:Tom Jefferson stayed up to write

The Constitution late at night

So he and his wife had a great big fight

And she made him sleep on the couch all night

W:James Madison never had a son

And he fought the War of 1812

D:James Monroe's colossal nose

Was bigger than Pinnochio's

Y:John Quincy Adams was number six

And it's Andrew Jackson's butt he kicked

So Jackson learns to play politics

Next time he's the one that the country picks

D:Martin Van Buren number eight

For a one term shot as chief of state

Y:William Harrisson, how do you praise

That guy was dead in thirty days!

W:John Tyler he liked country folk

D:And after him came President Polk

Y:Zachary Taylor liked to smoke

His breath killed friends whenever he spoke

W:1850, really nifty

Millard Fillmore's in

Y:Young and fierce was Franklin Pierce

The man without a chin

D: Follows next a period spannin'

Four long years with James Buchanan

Then the South start shootin' cannon

And we've got a civil war

YW&D:A war!

A war down south in Dixie!

Y:Up to bat comes old Abe Lincoln

D:There's a guy who's really thinkin'

W:Kept the United States from shrinking

Saved the ship of state from sinking

D:Andrew Johnson's next

He had some slight defects

W: Congress each

Would impeach

D:And so the county now elects

Y: Ulysees Simpson Grant

Who would scream and rave and rant

W: While drinking whiskey

Although risky

Cause he'd spill it on his pants

Y: It's 1877 and the democrats would gloat

But they're all amazed when Rutherford Hayes

Wins by just one vote

D:James Garfield, someone really hated

Cause he was assasinated

W:Chester Arthur gets instated

Four years later he was traded

D:For Grover Cleveland, really fat

Elected twice as a democrat

Then Benjamin Harrisson after that

It's William McKinley up at bat

Y:Teddy Roosevelt charged up San Juan Hill

W:And President Taft he got the bill

Y:In 1913 Woodrow

YW&D: Wiiilllllllson

Takes us into World War One

Y:Warren Harding he does fine

D:It's Calvin Coolidge next in line

W: And then in 1929

The market crashes and we find

Y:It's Herbert Hoover's big debut

He gets the blame and loses to

D:Franklin Roosevelt, President who

Helped us win in World War Two

W:Harry Truman, weird little human

Serves two terms and when he's done

Y:It's Eisenhower who's got the power

From '53 to '61

D:John F. Kennedy, he gets shot

So Lyndon Johnson takes his spot

Y:Richard Nixon he gets caught

And Gerald Ford fell down alot

W:Jimmy Carter liked camping trips

Y:And Ronald Regan's speeches' scripts

Came from famous movie clips

And President Bush said "read my lips"

D:Now in Washington D.C.

W:It's democrats and the G.O.P.

Y:But the one in charge is plain to see

D:It's Clinton, first name Hilary

Y: The next President to lead the way

Well, it just might be yourself one day

Then the press'll distort everything you say

YW&D:So jump in your plane and fly away
