Letter From The President
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I got a letter today from the president
And it came all the way from Washington, Dc
At the top he put my name instead of resident
And signed it at the bottom personally
Well I wonder why the heck he'd want to write to me
But I suppose that he is everybody's friend
And I guess he likes to keep in touch with all his country's people
Even those who can't write letters back to him
Oh I never started school but learned the golden rule
And the preacher taught me how to print my name
And it's twice as bad as stealing if you hurt somebody's feeling
So I better write a letter to the president today
Ooh
Oh ohh ye-eh-eh
Oh I never started school but learned the golden rule
And the preacher taught me how to print my name
And it's twice as bad as stealing if you hurt somebody's feeling
So I better write a letter to the president today
I got a letter (letter) today from the president (it's the president)
And it came all the way (all the way all the way) from Washington, DC (all the way)
At the top he put my name instead of resident (he put my name instead of resident)
And he signed it at the bottom personally
Oh oh yeah-eh-eh
And I wish someone would read it to me
