Bands are playing

Let's go swaying

At the President's birthday ball

They'll be welcoming one and all

Happy birthday

Best-on-Earth day

To the President FDR

From Americans near and far...

Look forward to much happier times

Look forward as we join in the grand march, the March of Dimes**

Check your sorrow till tomorrow

For the heavens will soon be bright

And we're gonna have fun tonight
There'll be rhythm and mirth

At the president's birthday ball!

(repeat once)
