The Presidents Song, South Park-Style (2010 Edition) - The Animaniacs

A music video of "The Presidents" song from the nineties animated series Animaniacs, with South Park-styled versions of each and every United States President, from George Washington through Barack Obama.

Lyrics:
Heigh ho! Do you know,
The names of the US Residents
Who then became the Presidents
And got a view from the White House loo
Of Pennsylvania Avenue?

George Washington was the first, you see
He once chopped down a cherry tree.

President number two would be
John Adams and then Number three

Tom Jefferson stayed up to write
A Declaration late at night
So he and his wife had a great big fight
And she made him sleep on the couch all night

James Madison never had a son
then he fought the War of 1812

James Monroe's colossal nose
Was bigger than Pinnochio's

John Quincy Adams was number six
And it's Andrew Jackson's butt he kicked
So Jackson learns to play politics
Next time he's the one that the country picks

Martin Van Buren number eight
For a one term shot as chief of state

William Harrisson, how do you praise
That guy was dead in thirty days!

John Tyler he liked country folk
And after him came President Polk
Zachary Taylor liked to smoke
His breath killed friends whenever he spoke

1850, really nifty
Millard Fillmore's in
Young and fierce was Franklin Pierce
The man without a chin

Follows next a period spannin'
Four long years with James Buchanan
Then the South start shootin' cannon
And we've got a civil war

A war!
A war down south in Dixie!

Up to bat comes old Abe Lincoln
There's a guy who's really thinkin'
Kept the United States from shrinking
Saved the ship of state from sinking

Andrew Johnson's next
He had some slight defects
Congress each
Would impeach
And so the county now elects

Ulysses Simpson Grant
Who would scream and rave and rant
While drinking whiskey
Although risky
Cause he'd spill it on his pants

It's 1877 and the democrats would gloat
But they're all amazed when Rutherford Hayes
Wins by just one vote

James Garfield, someone really hated
Cause he was assasinated
Chester Arthur gets instated
Four years later he was traded

For Grover Cleveland, really fat
Elected twice as a democrat
Then Benjamin Harrisson after that
It's William McKinley up at bat

Teddy Roosevelt charged up San Juan Hill
And President Taft he got the bill
In 1913 Woodrow Wiiilllllllson
Takes us into World War One

Warren Harding, next in line,
It's Calvin Coolidge, he does fine,
And then in 1929
The market crashes and we find

It's Herbert Hoover's big debut
He gets the blame and loses to
Franklin Roosevelt, President who
Helped us win in World War Two

Harry Truman, weird little human
Serves two terms and when he's done
It's Eisenhower who's got the power
From '53 to '61

John F. Kennedy, he gets shot
So Lyndon Johnson takes his spot
Richard Nixon he gets caught
And Gerald Ford fell down a lot

Jimmy Carter liked campaign trips
And Ronald Regan's speeches' scripts
All came from famous movie clips
And President Bush said "read my lips"

Now in Washington D.C.
It's democrats and the G.O.P.
But the ones in charge are plain to see
The Clintons: Bill and Hillary

The next President to lead the way
Well, it just might be yourself one day
Then the press'll distort everything you say
So jump in your plane and fly away

@MrGeorge2220 Nope, she's supposed to say three.

You do know that FDR was in a wheelchair and you showed him standing. I would just like to point that out.
