LYRICS:

I’m George Washington, born and raised a Virginian

From a slave-owning family with a privileged upbringing.

I fought for the British but they taxed our stamps and Tea

It got us kind of thinking – we wanna be free!

 

It all kicked off at the Boston Tea Party

We declared independence and fought to victory.

Signed the Treaty of Paris 1783

I wasn’t great at affection but my troops loved me.

 

I’m Abraham Lincoln and I’m kind of pretty famous

Led the North against the South in the fight to end slavery.

They call me Honest Abe ‘cos I didn’t like the lie

But if you’re messing with this President I’m gonna make you cry!

 

Had a pretty sweet beard and as leader I impressed

Man, you should have heard me speaking at the Gettysburg Address.

When the Southern States surrendered in 1865

As the Northern Union Leader it’s so great to be alive.

 

Till John Wilkes Booth went and blew me away

But that pesky little coward didn’t get the final say

They carved me on a mountain in the U S of A!

 

You’d call us Mister President if we was alive today

Always Mister President, the title never goes away

Call us Mister President; we made the USA.

 

I was Thomas Jefferson and really great at writing

But I found public speaking kind of very frightening.

The Declaration of Independence, that was me.

I wrote "All Men Are Equal" but my slaves were never free.

 

Franklin D Roosevelt, President in the Great Depression

My inaugural speech made a really great impression.

America was down ‘cos it squandered all its wealth

But I said, “All we’ve got to fear is fear itself”.

 

You’d call us Mister President if we was alive today.

Always Mister President, the title never goes away.

Call us Mister President; we made the USA!

 

The oldest ever President, Ronald “Ronnie” Regan

I used to be an actor before leading this fine nation.

Planned for lasers in space – you think that was pretty sweet?

Bought over three tonnes of jelly beans for an election victory treat.

 

Stop – Obama time! First African American to lead the USA

And don’t forget the White House was built by slaves

So you want a health care plan? Well, yes we can!

 

You call us Mister President if we was alive today.

Always Mister President, the title never goes away.

Call us Mister President; we made the USA!

 

All Mister Presidents were honoured to serve

And you can take that to the bank of the Federal reserve.
