OUR PRESIDENT.
We are proud that we are citizens
OF the grand old U. 5. A.,
But prouder still Of Our President,
Who usually has his way.
He's no ordinary man,
The world has found that out.
No matter what the crisis is,
He knows what he's about.
We like to call him teacher,
When our angry darts we hurl,
But thanks to his great wisdom,
He is the teacher of the world.
He's the country's greatest President,
And he's the peoples choice,
And they should re-elect him
Without one dissenting voice.
He stands for Peace with honor,
For the weak against the strong,
For Mother, Home and Heaven,
For the right against the wrong.
How can we best assist him,
And in his triumph share?
BY shouldering the loads, my brother,
And help him the burden bear.
Well rally for our President,
No other can fill his place,
For he's the greatest leader,
And he's sure to win the race.
Then hurrah for our President,
And bravely by him stand,
For he is the one great statesman
That we want to rule our land.
Three cheers for our President
That now is and is to be,
For he's standing by the colors,
And marching on to victory.
