Lyrics of the Short Song of the Presidents:

{Instrumental Introduction}

This is the song of the Presidents, A symphony song of the Presidents, The song of the Presidents, A Symphony of history.

{Verse 1}

To honor United States of America Chief Executives,

This is the epic song of American Presidents.

One after the other each have chosen to serve,

All natural born and age thirty-five have achieved.

{Verse 2}

Let’s start with the first and proceed to the last.

To understand the future we must know the past.

All varied in background, ideas, and talent.

Affecting our nation’s people and every event.

{Chorus}

Less than fifty have ever served,

Their history is here preserved,

This is the Song of the Presidents,

This is the SONG OF THE PRESIDENTS!

{Verse 3}

George Washington was the first to serve us,

John Adams was the second with our trust,

Thomas Jefferson the third for our nation.

With 44 more to follow since its creation..

{Verse 4}

From numerous wars to our nation’s expansion,

Our Presidents have served our great Union.

Some have been cut down in their prime,

Some like F D R served a long time.

{Chorus}

Less than fifty have ever served,

Their history is here preserved,

This is the Song of the Presidents,

This is the SONG OF THE PRESIDENTS!

{Verse 5}

Who will be our next President and Commander in Chief?

The future’s unwritten, the challenges beyond belief.

Campaigns will occur and we’ll make selections.

When the President is picked during national elections.

{Verse 6}

A Song to the Presidents, to all who have served us,

No matter the party, ideas, skills, or the resources.

Thank you for preserving, protecting, and defending,

Our Constitution for American generations never ending.

{Outro}

This is the Song of the Presidents, The Song of all the Presidents,

Serving as Commander in Chief

Keeping our nation safe. Keeping our nation safe (Keeping it safe), keeping it safe….
