Louis Jordan
Jordan for President
Vote for Jordan! Jordan for President! Vote for Jordan! We want Jordan!
Alright, folks of this thriving community
If I'm elected your president
Every Sunday evening at two-thirty, I’ll entertain all your kiddies on the White House lawn
Alright folks, if you send me to Washington as your leader
I'll personally see to it that every living American gets his potion, after I get mine
Alright folks, we're all worrying about the coming elections
But you know folks, we’ve got to make the proper selection
And I wanna get all you people straight
About all the candidates
Now if you want a man with a good offer, then cast your ballot for Kefauver
And you can rest and be assured you'll get no graft from Taft
But if you want administration that will groove you
That will move you, and keep you safe
Vote for Jordan for President
That's me folks, on the swing team
Now if you want to get the military bit straight
We all know that MacArthur would be great
And if you want a hipster, that'll take no sassin'
Then vote for Stasin
But if you want to walk on the sunny side of the street
With the candidate with the beat
Vote for Jordan for President
That's right, folks
You know folks, I ain't runnin' no "chicken in the pot" campaign
Everybody’s gonna drink champagne
And in every city, I’m gonna install a "Rhythm Committee"
Pass out them cigars out there, boy
And on my birthday, everybody in the USA is gonna get new shoes
We going dancing, nobody will get the blues
No longer will I be on the phonograph record
I'm gonna be on Congressional record
If you want the man of the hour, then vote for Eisenhower
And ladies and gentlemen, don’t sit there and sob
'Cause Truman don't want the job
But if you want a candidate that's real cool
Don’t vote for the Elephant or the Mule, vote for me
Vote for Jordan for President
Folks, if you send me to White House
We all will serve, time
Vote for Jordan for President
I'll put everybody on relief
Vote for Jordan for President
If you wanna hustle with Russell, go ahead
Vote for Jordan for President
Folks, if you stick with me
I'll put everybody in the rear
Vote for Jordan for President
