Lyrics

Mr. Rogers
 Have you ever thought about running for President of the United States?
 Well, I'll tell ya
 This country might be used to havin' anything at all named as a presidential candidate
 But we haven't quite sunk to the professional actor stage
 That's what I said in 1928, folks
 Mr. Rogers
 You've been invited to speak at the Republican convention in Kansas City
 And you've also been invited to speak at the Democratic convention in Houston
 Oh, boy
 The Democrats, they always have more fun at their conventions
 'Cause they know they aren't goin' anywhere afterward
 So
 Will you run for president or not, Mr. Rogers?
 I sure will!
 The elephant trunk and Democrat donkey
 Will be down the drain and sunk
 The day the people's victory is won
 With spirit and spunk he's gunna debunk
 The jabber and junk that they've been feeding us
 Hooray for our favorite son!
 You Democrats and Republicans I'm asking for your vote
 I've got this Debunk party with some new ideas to float
 Don't ask me what my platform is, I leave that stuff alone
 Cause no one keeps those promises as history has shown
 I'll run a clean campaign and that will be my winning card
 Considering the kind you've had well that won't be too hard
 Mr. Chairman!
 The great Sooner state of Oklahoma
 By clean sweep by acclamation, we proudly place in nomination
 The great Sooner state of Oklahoma
 Cast its 22 votes (22 votes, 22 votes)
 For
 William Penn Adair Rogers
 William Penn Adair Rogers
 William Penn Adair Rogers
 Yay!
 The elephant trunk and democrat donkey
 Will be down the drain and sunk
 The day the people's victory is won
 With spirit and spunk, he's gunna debunk
 The jabber and junk that they've been feeding us
 Hooray for our favorite son!
