OUR PRESIDENT
To the tune of "Star and Stripes Forever," by Sousa, in public domain
Words by Daniel Curzon
VERSE #1:
HURRAH FOR OUR GREAT PRESIDENT!
MAY HE RULE AS OUR STANDARD FOREVER!
NO DOUBT HE'S WITHOUT PRECEDENT.
A BEACON OF PURE LIGHT.
WE ALL MUST REMEMBER THE DAY
WHEN OUR FATHERS WROTE DOWN WHAT WE TREASURE
AND PROCLAIMED AS THEY SHOWED US THE WAY
TO UPHOLD THE LIGHT FOR FREEDOM'S MIGHT,
BUT TYRANTS NEVER!
VERSE #2:
HURRAH FOR COMMANDER IN CHIEF!
EVERY WORD THAT HE SAYS IS SO SPLENDID!
PURVEYOR OF JOY AND RELIEF.
FOR ALL A BLESSED GIFT.
NO THOUGHT FOR SELF, JUST FOR US.
ALL GREED AND VENALITY ARE ENDED!
ELOQUENT AND WITHOUT ANY FUSS
HE WILL UPLIFT, HEAL EVERY RIFT,
ALL FAULTS TRANSCENDED!
