Opening ~ The Ray Charles Singers
No . . . not the Roosevelt's, not the Truman's,
not the Eisenhower's no, this is not
that kind of show!
Not the Kennedy's, no not the
Kennedy's,
just a family of four, so it couldn't
be the Kennedy's
with the Kennedy's there'd have to be
more than four
just a simple American, not one of the
"greats"
but he happens to be President of
these United States! It Gets Lonely
In The White House ~ Perry Como
It gets lonely in the White House when
your cares begin
and the White House is a big place to
be lonely in
When you're all alone there starin'
into space
and you wish the man you ran against
could be there in your place!
It gets lonely in the White House when
you've been attacked
by the loyal opposition getting in the
act
If you make the wrong decision, when
the final chips are down
the White House is the loneliest place
in town!
It gets lonely in the White House when
you're sitting there
and you have to do your thinkin' in a
rockin' chair
When some exercise would keep you
feelin' well
but a journey to the golf course and
the country's gone to hell!
When the budget isn't balanced and
you're in the red
and you feel it would be better to be
dead than red
When your speech is optimistic but the
stocks keep tumblin' down
the White House is the loneliest place
in town!
