美國總統之歌：

歌詞：
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
And he fought the war of 1812.
James Monroe's
Colossal nose
Was bigger than Pinocchio'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 spanning
Four long years with James Buchanan,
Then the South start shooting 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 thinking,
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 assassinated.
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 Wilson
Takes us into World War One.
Warren Harding he does fine,
It's Calvin Coolidge next in line,
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 had Camelot,
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.
There's Democrats and the G.O.P.,
But the ones in charge are plain to see:
The Clintons, Bill and Hilary.
The next President to lead the way,
Well, it just might be yourself one day,
Then the press will distort everything you say,
So jump in your plane and fly away!

There once was a man,
His name was Magellan,
A Portuguese skipper, the girls found him cute.
He sailed with five ships
To find the East Indies,
Then come back to Spain with a bounty of loot.
Whoopie ti-yi-yo,
Oh, happy Magellan,
Starting your journey with hardly a care.
Whoopie ti-yi-yo,
Strong, brave Magellan,
You'll find the East Indies, you just don't know where.
They crossed the Atlantic
And spotted a country.
Magellan said, "It's the East Indies at last!"
But then someone shouted,
"Hey, that's Argentina!"
Magellan got cranky and chopped down the mast.
Whoopie ti-yi-yo,
Settle down, Magellan,
Put down that axe, there's no time to despair.
Whoopie ti-yi-yo,
Keep trying, Magellan,
You'll find the East Indies, you just don't know where.
A great storm arose
On the mighty Pacific,
The five little ships were diminished to three.
At last land was sighted,
Magellan was happy,
But then someone shouted, "Hey, that's Chile!"
Whoopie ti-yi-yo,
Cheer up, Magellan,
Check out your map and don't tear out your hair.
Whoopie ti-yi-yo,
Keep trying, Magellan,
You'll find the East Indies, you just don't know where.
It took them five months,
But they crossed the Pacific.
They spotted a land that was dotted with palms.
Magellan proclaimed,
"Yes! That's the East Indies!"
But then someone shouted, "Hey, I think that's Guam!"
Aye-yi-yi-yi,
Oops, Magellan,
Your fun little journey's become a nightmare.
Whoopie ti-yi-yo,
Keep trying, Magellan,
You'll find the East Indies, you just don't know where.
They sailed due west
To the Philippine Islands.
Magellan was pleased as the natives drew near.
But then someone shouted,
"I think they're attacking!"
Magellan said, "What?" and got hit by a spear.
Whoopie ti-yi-yo,
Farewell, Magellan,
You almost made it, it's really not fair.
Whoopie ti-yi-yo,
Oh, ghost of Magellan,
The East Indies islands were right over there.
