Call Me Rose

Lyrics

My name was Richard Nixon only now I'm a girl
 you wouldn't know it but I used to be the king of the world
 compared to last time I look like I've hit the skids
 living in the project with my two little kids
 it's not what I would of chose
 
 now you have to call me Rose
 I was boss of bosses the last time around
 I lived by cunning and ambition unbound
 the suckers said they'd stand behind me right or wrong
 as if they thought that hubris was the mark of the strong
 I was an arrogant man
 ♪
 but now I've got it in hand
 ♪
 it's not what I would have chose
 ♪
 now you have to call me Rose
 call me Rose
 call me Rose it's not what I would have chose
 
 now you have to call me Rose
 My name was Richard Nixon only now I'm a girl
 you wouldn't know it but I used to be the king of the world
 I'm back here learning what it is to be poor
 to have no power but the strength to endure
 I'll perform my penance well
 ♪
 maybe the memoir will sell
 ♪
 it's not what I would of chose
 ♪
 now you have to call me Rose
