lyrics

Before they were the Presidents, they all had occupations. This gave them the experience to lead our fine young nation.

George Washington was a General. John Adams was a teacher.
Mr. Jefferson was a farmer. James Madison was a lawyer.
James Monroe was a lawyer. J.Q. Adams was a diplomat.
Andrew Jackson was a soldier. Van Buren was the Governor of New York.

William Harrison was diplomat. John Tyler was a lawyer.
James k. Polk was a lawyer. Zachary Taylor was a soldier.
Millard Fillmore was a lawyer. Franklin Pierce was a Senator.
James Buchanan was a lawyer - Abe Lincoln was a congressman from Illinois.

Andrew Johnson was a tailor. U.S. Grant was a General.
Rutherford Hayes was a lawyer. James A. Garfield was a teacher.
Chester Arthur was a lawyer. Grover Cleveland was a sheriff.
Benjamin Harrison was a journalist. William McKinley was the Governor of Ohio.

Before they were the Presidents, they all had occupations.

Theo Roosevelt was a rancher. William Taft was a judge.
Woodrow Wilson was a professor. Warren Harding was an editor.
Calvin Coolidge was a lawyer. Herbert Hoover was an engineer.
FDR was a lawyer. Harry Truman was a farmer and a haberdasher.

Eisenhower was a General. JFK was a writer.
Lyndon B. Johnson was a teacher. Richard Nixon was a lawyer.
Gerald Ford was a lawyer. Jimmy Carter was a farmer.
Ronald Reagan was an actor. George Bush Sr. was the Director of the C.I.A.

And, now I’m almost finished – with 3 more presidents to go. I’ll bet you’re learning something that you didn’t already know.

Bill Clinton was a lawyer and then he became Governor.

George Bush Jr. owned a sports team. Barrack Obama was a teacher and a U.S. Senator.
