Animaniacs - The Presidents Song lyrics

Your rating:

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: 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
 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

 * Yakko: Tom Jefferson stayed up to write
 * The Constitution 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
 And 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 butt 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 killed friends whenever he spoke

 Wakko: Eighteen fifty, 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' cannon
 And we've got a civil war
 YW D : 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 drinking whiskey
 Although risky
 'Cause he'd spill it on his pants

 Yakko: It's eighteen seventy-seven
 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 assassinated
 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
 YW D : Wil...
 ...son takes us into World War One

 Yakko: Warren Harding next in line
 Dot : It's Calvin Coolidge; he does fine
 Wakko: And then in nineteen twenty-nine
 The market crashes, and we find

 * Yakko: Warren Harding, he does fine
 * Dot : It's Calvin Coolidge next in line
 * Wakko: And then in nineteen twenty-nine
 * 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 Two

 Wakko: Harry Truman, weird little human
 Serves two terms and when he's done
 Yakko: It's Eisenhower who's got the power
 From fifty-three to sixty-one

 Dot : John Kennedy had Camelot
 Then Lyndon Johnson took his spot
 Yakko: Richard Nixon, he gets caught
 And Gerald Ford fell down a lot

 * Dot : John F. Kennedy, he gets shot
 * So Lyndon Johnson takes 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 D.C.
 Wakko: There's Democrats and the G.O.P.
 Yakko: But the ones in charge are plain to see
 Dot : The Clintons, Bill and Hillary

 * Dot : Now in Washington D.C.
 * Wakko: There's Democrats and the G.O.P.
 * Yakko: But the one in charge is plain to see
 * Dot : It's Clinton, first name Hillary

 Yakko: 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
