《James K. Polk(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:00] James K. Polk (LP版) - They Might Be Giants

[00:00:06] In 1844

[00:00:08] The democrats were split

[00:00:13] The three nominees for the presidential candidate

[00:00:20] Were martin van buren

[00:00:22] A former president and an abolitionist

[00:00:27] James buchanan a moderate

[00:00:30] Lewis cass

[00:00:31] A general and expansionist

[00:00:37] From nashville came a dark horse riding up

[00:00:44] He was James k polk

[00:00:46] Napoleon of the stump

[00:00:51] Austere severe he held few people dear

[00:00:58] His oratory filled his foes with fear

[00:01:04] The factions soon agreed

[00:01:06] He's just the man we need

[00:01:08] To bring about victory

[00:01:11] Fulfill our manifest destiny

[00:01:14] And annex the land the Mexicans command

[00:01:21] And when the vote was cast the winner was

[00:01:28] Mister James k polk

[00:01:30] Napoleon of the stump

[00:02:06] In four short years he met his every goal

[00:02:13] He seized the whole Southwest from Mexico

[00:02:20] Made sure the tarriffs fell

[00:02:22] And made the English sell the oregon territory

[00:02:26] He built an independent treasury

[00:02:30] Having done all this he sought no second term

[00:02:37] But precious few have mourned the passing of

[00:02:44] Mister James k polk

[00:02:45] Our eleventh president

[00:02:50] Young hickory

[00:02:52] Napoleon of the stump
