We fell in love with JFK
Despite what he did or said
But we hated Lyndon Johnson too
Because of the ears upon his head
When Nixon came we did applaud
We thought he’d do it right
But when he said he wasn’t a crook
We regarded him in a different light
Poor Gerard Ford was such a clown
He stumbled as much as he did fumble
Jimmy Carter wasn’t much better
His diplomacy caused the Shah to tumble
It took Ronald Reagan to set things right
The Germans had some bricks to break
Had he not built up our military force
George Bush would have no choices to take
Instead this George won a quick Gulf War
Because he moved troops there on the double
Bill Clinton had a way with his words
But with girls they got him in trouble
He showed that even great men lie about sex
Especially when it involves interns with brown hair
And then came the second Bush almost like his father
Who also had to deal with a Middle Eastern affair
When two airliners attacked our innocence
George retaliated and attacked terror where it grew
Despite what people say about war and his actions
Surely if they were him they would have made war too
So as another election year does approach
Will you vote for someone good or bad?
For regardless of who you do elect
Will they be able to deal with a life so sad?
While the candidates posture and pose
And strive to obtain the power they seek
When it is all over nothing ever really remains
Except for the foibles that we’ll one day speak
