A Meeting with President Wilson

Lyrics

[DORIS] June 5th, 1913 Our first meeting with President Wilson [WILSON] Ladies, you have my utmost admiration But as a man of my word I must honor the promises of my campaign Currency revision And, um [DUDLEY, spoken] Tariff reform, sir [WILSON] Oh, yes Tariff reform Issues affecting all Americans [ALICE, spoken] But Mr. President [LUCY, INEZ, RUZA & DORIS] Here she goes [ALICE, spoken] Governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed [WILSON, spoken] Such a bright young girl [ALICE] So do you not understand your administration has no right To legislate tariff or any other reform Without the consent of women [WILSON] Forgive me, ladiеs I'm afraid I have no opinion on the merits of thе subject As it's entirely new to me [RUZA] We'll be glad to educate you [LUCY] Sir [ALICE] Sir [WILSON] This'll receive my most careful consideration [DORIS, spoken] April 6th, 1914 Another excuse from President Wilson [WILSON] Forgive me, ladies The economy [DORIS, spoken] August 8th, 1914 [WILSON] Forgive me, ladies Congress [DORIS, spoken] May 12th, 1915 [WILSON] Forgive me, ladies The Lusitania [DORIS, spoken] June 1st, 1916 [WILSON] Tariff reform [ALICE, spoken] Hold on, sir You said that exact same thing three years ago [WILSON] My, how the time flies You're right indeed it is an election year again I must turn my concern to earning the votes Of the country's people once more But perhaps I'll put in a good word for suffrage In my campaign speeches this summer [ALICE, spoken] Excellent, we'd love to draft that language with you [WILSON] My chief of staff will escort you to the door And Dudley, won't you give them a tour? Now take care, ladies
