Mr. President

[George Washington]
I'm George Washington, born and raised in Virginia
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 want to 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

[Abraham Lincoln]
I'm Abraham Lincoln and I'm kind of pretty famous
Led the North against the South in the fight to end slavery
They called me Honest Abe cause I didn't like to 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 felt 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 US of A

[All]
You'd call us Mr. President
If we was alive today
Always Mr. President
The title never goes away
Call us Mr. President
We made the USA

[Thomas Jefferson]
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 freed

[Franklin D. Roosevelt]
Franklin D. Roosevelt, Prez in the Great Depression
My inaugural speech made a really great impression
America was down cause it squandered all its wealth
But I said all we've got to fear is fear itself

[All]
You'd call us Mr. President
If we was alive today
Always Mr. President
The title never goes away
Call us Mr. President
We made the USA

[Ronald Reagan]
The oldest ever president, Ronald "Ronnie" Reagan
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 greet

[Barack Obama]
Stop! Obama time
First African American to lead the USA
But don't forget the White House was built by slaves
So you want a healthcare plan? Well, yes we can

[All]
You'd call us Mr. President
If we was alive today
Always Mr. President
The title never goes away
Call us Mr. President
We made the USA
All Mr. Presidents were honoured to serve
And you can take that to the bank of the Federal Reserve
