*MR. TAMBO*
I hear tell there's a stanger in the Jones household
*CHORUS*
Yes siree, yes siree
*MR. TAMBO*
That's what I'm told
I hear tell there's a new arrival six days old.
*CHORUS*
Yes siree, yes siree
*MR. TAMBO*
Worth his weight in gold.
Come right in, and meet the son
Christenings done, time to have some fun
*CHORUS*
Yes siree, yes siree
*MR. TAMBO*
Yes siree
*CHORUS*
Yes siree, yes siree
*MR. TAMBO*
It's a big holiday everywhere
For the Jones family has a brand new heir
He's a joy, heaven-sent
And we proudly present Mr. Franklin D. Roosevelt Jones
When he grows up he never will stray
With a name like the one that he's got today
When he walks down the street
Folks will say "Pleased to meet"
"Mr. Franklin D. Roosevlet Jones"
What a smile, and how he show it
He'll be happy, all day long
What a name, I'll bet he knows it
With that handle, how can he go wrong
And the folks in the town all agree
He'll be famous and famous as he can be
How can he be a dud, or a stick in the mud
When he's Franklin D. Roosevelt Jones
Go to sleep my baby, and maybe, you'll balance the budget by and by
You're a lucky baby with Franklin D. for your name
Mrs. Jones' baby boy is a welcome resident
Give him a fishing rod for a toy, he's the future president
When this rascal goes to school ABC's won't matter
Teach him plain old 'rithmatic and of course the Fireside Chatter
My friends, my friends, let's all shout Hooray!
*CHORUS*
It's a big holiday everywhere
For the Jones family has a brand new heir
*MR. TAMBO*
We'll be proud to affirm when he serves his fourth term
Just you wait and see
*CHORUS*
Yeah!
*MR. TAMBO*
He'll make history!
*CHORUS*
Yeah!
*ALL
''cause he's Franklin D. Roosevelt Jones!
