Lyrics Loudon Wainwright III

Loudon Wainwright III

On to Victory, Mr. Roosevelt

All hail to Mr. Roosevelt you're the hero of the hour

We sent you on to Washington bestowed on you full power

This country is a vast domain it's the finest spot on earth

We've worked and struggled fought and won every conflict since our birth

On to victory Mr. Roosevelt you'll need one mighty strong

And now that you're our president we know it won't be long

Till folks are happy once again singin' this glad song

Mr. Roosevelt we're back of you 120 million strong

So cut expense tear down the fence between supply demand

Put folks to work don't let them shirk let farmers keep their land

They don't need cash to cut a dash there's faith in those we trust

So when they say that they will pay they will not go and bust

On to victory Mr. Roosevelt we'll need one mighty strong

And now that you're our president we know it won't be long

Till folks are happy once again singin' this glad song

Mr. Roosevelt we're back of you 120 million strong

So onward noble president we pledge our faith in you

'Cause when we see your smiling face we never can be blue

So smile and pray work hard each day and soon things will be bright

The sun will shine we'll all feel fine everything will turn out right

On to victory Mr. Roosevelt we'll need one mighty strong

And now that you're our president we know it won't be long

Till folks are happy once again singin' this glad song

Mr. Roosevelt we're back of you 120 million strong

Let's look into the future now many years from today

There'll be another president to help us find our way

A younger man with darker skin will then be called upon

And history will repeat itself and folks will sing this song

On to victory Mr. Obama we'll need one mighty strong

And now that you're our president we know it won't be long

Till folks are happy once again singin' this glad song

Mr. Obama we're back of you 300 million strong
