Our Favorite Son Songtext

Our Favorite Son Songtext
Mr. Rogers
Have you ever thought about running for President of the United States?
Well, I′ll tell ya
This country might be used to havin' anything at all named as a presidential candidate
But we haven′t quite sunk to the professional actor stage
That's what I said in 1928, folks
Mr. Rogers
You've been invited to speak at the Republican convention in Kansas City
And you′ve also been invited to speak at the Democratic convention in Houston
Oh, boy
The Democrats, they always have more fun at their conventions
′Cause they know they aren't goin′ anywhere afterward
So
Will you run for president or not, Mr. Rogers?
I sure will!
The elephant trunk and Democrat donkey
Will be down the drain and sunk
The day the people's victory is won
With spirit and spunk he′s gunna debunk
The jabber and junk that they've been feeding us
Hooray for our favorite son!
You Democrats and Republicans I′m asking for your vote
I've got this Debunk party with some new ideas to float
Don't ask me what my platform is, I leave that stuff alone
Cause no one keeps those promises as history has shown
I′ll run a clean campaign and that will be my winning card
Considering the kind you′ve had well that won't be too hard
Mr. Chairman!
The great Sooner state of Oklahoma
By clean sweep by acclamation, we proudly place in nomination
The great Sooner state of Oklahoma
Cast its 22 votes (22 votes, 22 votes)
For
William Penn Adair Rogers
William Penn Adair Rogers
William Penn Adair Rogers
Yay!
The elephant trunk and democrat donkey
Will be down the drain and sunk
The day the people′s victory is won
With spirit and spunk, he's gunna debunk
The jabber and junk that they′ve been feeding us
Hooray for our favorite son!
Hooray hooray hooray hooray hooray hooray!
With spirit and spunk, he's gunna debunk
The jabber and junk that they′ve been feeding us
Hooray for our favorite son!
Hooray for our favorite
Hooray for our favorite
Hooray for our favorite son
HOORAY!!!
