• The Presidents

Yakko:
Heigh Ho, Dayaknow, the names of the US residents
who than became the presidents and got a view from the White House loo off 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:
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!

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:
1850, really nifty,
Millard Fillmore's in.
Yakko:
Young and fierce was Franklin Pierce,
The man without a chin.

Dot:
Followin' next a period spannin'
Four long years with James Buchanan.
Then the south starts shootin' cannons
And we got a Civil War.

The Warners:
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 gets the bill.
Yakko:
In 1913, Woodrow...

The Warners:
Wiiiiillllllllllson
Takes us into World War I!

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