Irving Berlin - It Gets Lonely In The White House lyrics

It gets lonely in the White House when your cares begin And the White House is a big place to be lonely in When you're all alone there staring into space And you wish the man you ran against could be there in your place It gets lonely in the White House when you've been attacked By the loyal opposition getting in the act If you make the wrong decision, when the final chips are down The White House is the loneliest place in town It gets lonely in the White House when you're sitting there And you have to do your thinking in a rocking chair When some exercise would keep you feeling well But a journey to the golf course and the country's gone to hell When the budget isn't balanced and you're in the red And you feel it would be better to be dead than red When your speech is optimistic but the stocks keep tumblin' down The White House is the loneliest place in town
