Judy Garland - Franklin D. Roosevelt Jones lyrics

rate me

*MR. TAMBO*

I hear tell there's a stanger in the Jones household

*CHORUS*

Yes siree, yes siree

*MR. TAMBO*

That's what I'm told

I hear tell there's a new arrival six days old.

*CHORUS*

Yes siree, yes siree

*MR. TAMBO*

Worth his weight in gold.

Come right in, and meet the son

Christenings done, time to have some fun

*CHORUS*

Yes siree, yes siree

*MR. TAMBO*

Yes siree

*CHORUS*

Yes siree, yes siree

*MR. TAMBO*

It's a big holiday everywhere

For the Jones family has a brand new heir

He's a joy, heaven-sent

And we proudly present Mr. Franklin D. Roosevelt Jones

When he grows up he never will stray

With a name like the one that he's got today

When he walks down the street

Folks will say "Pleased to meet"

"Mr. Franklin D. Roosevlet Jones"

What a smile, and how he show it

He'll be happy, all day long

What a name, I'll bet he knows it

With that handle, how can he go wrong

And the folks in the town all agree

He'll be famous and famous as he can be

How can he be a dud, or a stick in the mud

When he's Franklin D. Roosevelt Jones

Go to sleep my baby, and maybe, you'll balance the budget by and by

You're a lucky baby with Franklin D. for your name

Mrs. Jones' baby boy is a welcome resident

Give him a fishing rod for a toy, he's the future president

When this rascal goes to school ABC's won't matter

Teach him plain old 'rithmatic and of course the Fireside Chatter

My friends, my friends, let's all shout Hooray!

*CHORUS*

It's a big holiday everywhere

For the Jones family has a brand new heir

*MR. TAMBO*

We'll be proud to affirm when he serves his fourth term

Just you wait and see

*CHORUS*

Yeah!

*MR. TAMBO*

He'll make history!

*CHORUS*

Yeah!

*ALL

'Cuz he's Franklin D. Roosevelt Jones!
