Animaniacs - The Presidents lyrics

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 George Washington was the first, you see He once chopped down a cherry tree D:President number two would be John Adams and then number three Y: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 W:James Madison never had a son then he fought the War of 1812 D:James Monroe's colossal nose Was bigger than Pinnochio's Y:John Quincy Adams was number six And it's Andrew Jackson's bu*t he kicked So Jackson learns to play politics Next time he's the one that the country picks D:Martin Van Buren number eight For a one-term shot as chief of state Y:William Harrisson, how do you praise That guy was dead in thirty days! W:John Tyler he liked country folk D:And after him came President Polk Y:Zachary Taylor liked to smoke His breath k**ed friends whenever he spoke W:1850, really nifty Millard Fillmore's in Y:Young and fierce was Franklin Pierce The man without a chin D: Follows next a period spannin' Four long years with James Buchanan Then the South start shootin' cannon And we've got a civil war YW&D:A war! A war down south in Dixie! Y:Up to bat comes old Abe Lincoln D:There's a guy who's really thinkin' W:Kept the United States from shrinking Saved the ship of state from sinking D:Andrew Johnson's next He had some slight defects W: Congress each Would impeach D:And so the country now elects Y: Ulysses Simpson Grant Who would scream and rave and rant W: While drinking whiskey Although risky Cause he'd spill it on his pants Y: It's 1877 and the democrats would gloat But they're all amazed when Rutherford Hayes Wins by just one vote D:James Garfield, someone really hated Cause he was a**asinated W:Chester Arthur gets instated Four years later he was traded D:For Grover Cleveland, really fat Elected twice as a democrat Then Benjamin Harrison after that It's William McKinley up to bat Y:Teddy Roosevelt charged up San Juan Hill W:And President Taft he got the bill Y:In 1913 Woodrow YW&D: Wiiilllllllson Takes us into World War One Y:Warren Harding next in line D:It's Calvin Coolidge he does fine W: And then in 1929 The market crashes and we find Y:It's Herbert Hoover's big debut He gets the blame and loses to D:Franklin Roosevelt, President who Helped us win in World War Two W:Harry Truman, weird little human Serves two terms and when he's done Y:It's Eisenhower who's got the power From '53 to '61 D:John Kennedy had Camelot Then Lyndon Johnson took his spot Y:Richard Nixon he gets caught And Gerald Ford fell down a lot W:Jimmy Carter liked campaign trips Y:And Ronald Regan's speeches scripts All came from famous movie clips And President Bush said "read my lips" D:Now in Washington D.C. W:It's democrats and the G.O.P. Y:But the ones in charge are plain to see D:The Clintons Bill and Hillary Y: 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
