Our Favorite Son

Lyrics

ZIEGFELD'S FAVORITE (spoken) Mr. Rogers, have you ever thought about running for President of the United States? WILL (spoken) Well, let me tell ta, this country might be used to having an "anything-and-all-mean" as a presidential candidate, but we haven't quite someone in the professional actor stage.... That's what I said in 1928, folks ZIEGFELD'S FAVORITE (spoken) Mr. Rogers, you've been invited to speak at the Republican convention in Kansas City and you've been invited to speak at the Democratic convention in Houston WILL (spoken) Oh boy, the Democrats! They always have more fun in their conventions 'cause they know they aren't going anywhere afterwards ZIEGFELD'S FAVORITE (spoken) So, will you run for President or not, Mr. Rogers? WILL (spoken) I sure will GIRLS The elephant trunk and Democrat donkey Will be down the drain and sunk The day the peoples victory is won With spirit and spunk he's gunna debunk The jabber and junk that they've been feeding us Hooray for our favorite son! WILL You Democrats and Republicans I'm asking for your vote I've got this Debunk party with some new ideas to float Don't ask me what my platform is I leave that stuff alone Cause no one keeps those promises as history has shown I'll run a clean campaign and that will be my winning card Considering the kind we've had well that won't be too hard BOYS (spoken) Mr. Chairman! (sung) The greatest sooner state of Oklahoma By clean sweep by acclamation, we proudly place in nomination The greatest sooner state of Oklahoma Cast its 22 votes (22 votes, 22votes..) For William Penn Adair Rogers William Penn Adair Rogers William Penn Adair Rogers Yay! GIRLS The elephant trunk and democrat donkey Will be down the drain and sunk The day the peoples victory is won With spirit and spunk, he's gunna debunk The jabber and junk that they've been feeding us Hooray for our favorite son! Hooray for our favorite Hooray for our favorite Hooray for our favorite Son HOORAY!!!
