Presidents of the United States Day - Yankee Doodle Song

The United States Presidents' Song
(To the tune of "Yankee Doodle")

Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison
Monroe, John Quincy Adams
Jackson, Van Buren, Harrison, Tyler, Polk and Taylor too

Fillmore, Pierce, Buchanan, Lincoln
Johnson, Grant and Hayes
Garfield, Arthur, Cleveland, Harrison, Cleveland and McKinley

Theodore Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson
Harding, Coolidge and Hoover
Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman and Dwight D. Eisenhower

John F. Kennedy, Lindon Baines Johnson
Richard Milhaus Nixon
Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan,
George Bush and Bill Clinton

Then we had another Bush
And now we're waiting to see
Who will lead the United States
And who's name next we'll sing.

My 4th Grade teacher Mr. Kramer taught us the presidents (up to Carter) to a different tune and as the years and presidential terms have passed, I've struggled with how to end it. I remembered hearing that one could sing the presidents to the tune of "Yankee Doodle" and worked out this version. Since I have to work tomorrow, thought this would be a fun tune to get the kids singing on President's Day.
