Yakko: Heigh ho, do you know
The names of the U.S. 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* Yakko: 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
The Declaration late at night
So he and his wife had a great big fight
And she made him sleep on the couch all night* Yakko: Tom Jefferson stayed up to write* The Constitution 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'sYakko: 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 StateYakko: William Harrison, how do you praise?
That guy was dead in thirty days
Wakko: John Tyler, he liked country folk
Dot : And after him came President PolkYakko: Zachary Taylor liked to smoke
His breath killed friends whenever he spoke
Wakko: Eighteen fifty, really nifty
Millard Fillmore's in

And we've got a civil warYW+

He had some slight defects
Wakko: Congress each
Would impeach
Dot : And so the country now elects
Yakko: Ulysses Simpson GrantWho would scream and rave and rant
Wakko: While drinking whiskey
Although risky'Cause he'd spill it on his pants
Yakko: It's eighteen seventy-seven
And the Democrats would gloat
But they're all amazed when Rutherford HayesWins 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 DemocratThen Benjamin Harrison; after thatIt's William McKinley up to bat
Yakko: Teddy Roosevelt charged up San Juan HillWakko: And President Taft, he got the bill
Yakko: In 1913 WoodrowYW+D : Wil......son takes us into World War OneYakko: Warren Harding next in line
Dot : It's Calvin Coolidge; he does fine
Wakko: And then in nineteen twenty-nine
The market crashes, and we find* Yakko: Warren Harding, he does fine* Dot : It's Calvin Coolidge next in line* Wakko: And then in nineteen twenty-nine* The market crashes, and we find

Serves two terms and when he's done
