[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] Tom JEFFERSON stayed up to write A Declaration 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 Then 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 bu*t 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 k**ed friends whenever he spoke [Wakko] 1850, 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' cannons And we got a Civil War [Unison] 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 drinkin' whiskey although risky 'Cause he'd spill it on his pants [Yakko] It's 1877 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 a**a**inated [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 [Unison] WILSON takes us into World War I [Yakko] Warren HARDING; next in line [Dot] It's Calvin COOLIDGE, he does fine [Wakko] And then in 1929 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 II [Wakko] Harry TRUMAN, weird little human Serves two terms and when he's done [Yakko] It's EISENHOWER who's got the power From '53 to '61 [Dot] John KENNEDY had Camelot Then Lyndon JOHNSON took 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, DC [Wakko] There's Democrats and the GOP [Yakko] But the ones in charge are plain to see [Dot] The CLINTONS, Bill and Hillary [Yakko] The next president to lead the way Well, it might just be yourself one day Then the press'll distort everything you say [Unison] So jump in your plane and fly away
