He won't be president no more What President Kennedy give us Old Reagan's took it back What President Reagan's [sic] give us Old Reagan's took it back He cut off the poor veteran, ooh Lord Lord And he even took on the tax But I'm so glad President Reagan only got two more years Yes I'm so glad He only got two more years And the world will be happy, ooh Lord Lod And we won't shed no more tears Got that woman on the White House, She's blindfolded holdin' two scales Got that woman on the lighthouse [sic], She's blindfolded holdin' two scales And they say the scales mean justice Ooh Lord Lord for the white folks it mean just them(?)
