The Presidents Song


 * Yakko:
 * Heigh Ho, do ya know
 * The names of the US 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...
 * 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
 * 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 ya praise?
 * That guy was dead in thirty days!

 * 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 got a Civil War.


 * The Warners:
 * (to the tune of "I Wish I Was in Dixie")
 * 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 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...

 * Takes us into World War I!


 * (Military cadence)


 * 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:
 * {slower}
 * The next President to lead the way,
 * Well, it might just be yourself one day.
 * Then the press'll distort everything you say...


 * The Warners:
 * {abruptly change to normal speed}
 * So jump in your plane and fly away!
