Franklin D Roosevelt Jones lyrics

*MR. TAMBO*

I hear tell there`s a stanger in the Jones household

*CHORUS*

Yes siree, yes siree

*MR. TAMBO*

That`s what I`m told

I hear tell there`s a new arrival six days old.

*CHORUS*

Yes siree, yes siree

*MR. TAMBO*

Worth his weight in gold.

Come right in, and meet the son

Christenings done, time to have some fun

*CHORUS*

Yes siree, yes siree

*MR. TAMBO*

Yes siree

*CHORUS*

Yes siree, yes siree

*MR. TAMBO*

It`s a big holiday everywhere

For the Jones family has a brand new heir

He`s a joy, heaven-sent

And we proudly present Mr. Franklin D. Roosevelt Jones

When he grows up he never will stray

With a name like the one that he`s got today

When he walks down the street

Folks will say "Pleased to meet"

"Mr. Franklin D. Roosevlet Jones"

What a smile, and how he show it

He`ll be happy, all day long

What a name, I`ll bet he knows it

With that handle, how can he go wrong

And the folks in the town all agree

He`ll be famous and famous as he can be

How can he be a dud, or a stick in the mud

When he`s Franklin D. Roosevelt Jones

Go to sleep my baby, and maybe, you`ll balance the budget by and by

You`re a lucky baby with Franklin D. for your name

Mrs. Jones` baby boy is a welcome resident

Give him a fishing rod for a toy, he`s the future president

When this rascal goes to school ABC`s won`t matter

Teach him plain old `rithmatic and of course the Fireside Chatter

My friends, my friends, let`s all shout Hooray!

*CHORUS*

It`s a big holiday everywhere

For the Jones family has a brand new heir

*MR. TAMBO*

We`ll be proud to affirm when he serves his fourth term

Just you wait and see

*CHORUS*

Yeah!

*MR. TAMBO*

He`ll make history!

*CHORUS*

Yeah!

*ALL

`Cuz he`s Franklin D. Roosevelt Jones!
