THE PRESIDENTS SONG Lyrics

Yakko: Heigh ho, do you 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?

Wakko: George Washington was the first, you see

He once chopped down a cherry tree

Dot : President number two would be

John Adams and then number three

* Yakko: George Washington was the first, you see

* He once chopped down a cherry tree

* Dot : President number two would be

* John Adams and then number three

Yakko: 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

* Yakko: 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

Wakko: James Madison never had a son

And he fought the War of 1812

Dot : James Monroe's colossal nose

Was bigger than Pinocchio's

Yakko: 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

Dot : Martin Van Buren, number eight

For a one-term shot as Chief of State

Yakko: William Harrison, how do you praise?

That guy was dead in thirty days

Wakko: John Tyler, he liked country folk

Dot : And after him came President Polk

Yakko: Zachary Taylor liked to smoke

His breath killed friends whenever he spoke

Wakko: Eighteen fifty, really nifty

Millard Fillmore's in

Yakko: Young and fierce was Franklin Pierce

The man without a chin

Dot : Follows next a period spannin'

Four long years with James Buchanan

Then the South starts shootin' cannon

And we've got a civil war

YW+D : A war, a war down south in Dixie

Yakko: Up to bat comes old Abe Lincoln

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

Wakko: Kept the United States from shrinkin'

Saved the ship of state from sinkin'

Dot : Andrew Johnson's next

He had some slight defects

Wakko: Congress each

Would impeach

Dot : And so the country now elects

Yakko: Ulysses Simpson Grant

Who would scream and rave and rant

Wakko: While drinking whiskey

'Cause he'd spill it on his pants

Yakko: It's eighteen seventy-seven

And the Democrats would gloat

But they're all amazed when Rutherford Hayes

Wins by just one vote

Dot : James Garfield, someone really hated

'Cause he was assassinated

Wakko: Chester Arthur gets instated

Four years later, he was traded

Dot : For Grover Cleveland, really fat

Elected twice as a Democrat

Then Benjamin Harrison; after that

It's William McKinley up to bat

Yakko: Teddy Roosevelt charged up San Juan Hill

Wakko: And President Taft, he got the bill

Yakko: In 1913 Woodrow

YW+D : Wil...

...son takes us into World War One

Yakko: Warren Harding next in line

Dot : It's Calvin Coolidge; he does fine

Wakko: And then in nineteen twenty-nine

The market crashes, and we find

* Yakko: Warren Harding, he does fine

* Dot : It's Calvin Coolidge next in line

* Wakko: And then in nineteen twenty-nine

* The market crashes, and we find

Yakko: It's Herbert Hoover's big debut

He gets the blame and loses to

Dot : Franklin Roosevelt, president who

Helped us win in World War Two

Wakko: Harry Truman, weird little human

Serves two terms and when he's done

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

From fifty-three to sixty-one

Dot : John Kennedy had Camelot

Then Lyndon Johnson took his spot

Yakko: Richard Nixon, he gets caught

And Gerald Ford fell down a lot

* Dot : John F. Kennedy, he gets shot

* So Lyndon Johnson takes his spot

* Yakko: Richard Nixon, he gets caught

* And Gerald Ford fell down a lot

Wakko: Jimmy Carter liked campaign trips

Yakko: And Ronald Reagan's speeches' scripts

All came from famous movie clips

And President Bush said "read my lips"

Dot : Now in Washington D.C.

Wakko: There's Democrats and the G.O.P.

Yakko: But the ones in charge are plain to see

Dot : The Clintons, Bill and Hillary

* Dot : Now in Washington D.C.

* Wakko: There's Democrats and the G.O.P.

* Yakko: But the one in charge is plain to see

* Dot : It's Clinton, first name Hillary

Yakko: 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
