Please Mr. President Lyrics

Dear Mr. President

I don't know if you'll ever answer this

But I have a really big problem

And I think you're the only one that can help

Yesterday my daddy came home from work early

And his eyes were wet

Just like he had been crying

But I know that daddies never cry

I guess it must have been the wind outside

Daddy didn't say much that day

But later when we were eating

He and mommy started yelling at each other

And they never do that with me around

Well I was pretty mixed up

So that night

Right after mommy tucked me in bed

And I said my prayers

I asked her if daddy didn't like us anymore

She said, No, daddy just lost his job for a while

At the car-making factory

She said some big words I had never heard

Something about not having enough money to buy things

Especially cars

And that's why daddy doesn't have a job anymore

She said it's my job now

To keep daddy happy

And make him feel important

So that is what I'm trying to do

But Mr. President

It's not easy

'Cause daddy's not like he used to be

He doesn't laught or smile

And he won't even play with my dog Sam

I saw a picture of your dog

In the paper the other day

He looks sort of like Sam

Does he know any tricks?

Anyway Mr. President

I don't think it's fair

My daddy's a kind and honest man

I know he works hard

So why would they fire him

I don't think it's his fault

But he sayd, it's not his boss' either

So whose fault is it

That's why I'm writing to you

Because I know you can help me

I'm not a selfish person, Mr. President

A lot of the other girls in first grade

Have more dresses than me

And I don't mind wearing the same old green one

Every day, if it helps daddy

And you know, my quarter I get every week

For my allowance

Doesn't buy much candy any more

But I told daddy

I would give that up

If it would help any

Christmas wasn't so much fun this year either

Please do something to help us, Mr. President

I don't want so much

I just want mommy, daddy, and me

To be happy, like we used to be

Even Sam's lonely now

Because daddy ignores him

I know if anyone can help daddy get his job back

You can

And Mr. President

I promise, if you help me

I'll be glad to help you

If you ever need it

If nothing else, I could always be your friend

Thank you Mr. President

PS: If it helps

Tonight when I say my prayers

When I say, God bless mommy, and daddy

And me, and Sam

I'll say, God bless Mr. President too.
