      Opening ( Mr. President )

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!
