Remember way back when I wrote that
song about Dinosaurs?Well to add to that album
Other Lovely Dinosaurs, here's
White House Party, a song about every US President getting together to throw a party. They are also in chronological order in their appearances, so it can also be used as a memorization tool if you wanted to (the reason being I had to do that back in AP US History sophomore year, so I know how a catchy song can really help).
So this was a song I actually wrote about a week afterwards, but abandoned due to lack of a chorus. However, I recently decided that acapella was much better with a simple drum beat to keep time, and thus this song was finished (if you're wondering, it's a four part harmony two of the voices I sing as Kennedy and Nixon, you can guess who gets what part).

Washington and Adams have a party,
Jefferson and Madison are there hardly.
Munroe and Quincy talk about his dad.
Jackson's mean, Van Buren goes home
Harrison dies and Tyler gets stoned,
Polk thinks that this place ain't so bad.
Taylor talks of whigs to Filmoure,
Peirce and Buchannon talk about the civil war,
Lincoln does his best to save the union.
Andrew Johnson gets impeached and Grant laughs
and Hayes can't be reached
But Garfield get's on the dance floor and has some fun.
Cleveland showed up with a kegger
Harrison said it could have been bigger,
Cleveland came back with another term.
McKinley was shot and Roosevelt was cool,
Taft and Wilson played the fool.
Harding and Coolidge started doing the worm
Hoover gave us all no medication
For our depression condition
So FDR did some wheelies instead.
Truman dropped the bomb and Esienhower hated him,
Kennedy was shot almost on a whim,
We all started to sing for he was dead.
Johnson was declared vietnam's king,
Nixon lied about almost everything,
Gerald Ford pardoned him and joined in the parades.
Jimmy Carter brought the peanut dip,
Ronald Reagan was able to get a grip,
long enough to play his game of charades.
George Bush senior sat alone,
while Clinton got laid and Stoned,
He was having all the first ladies undress.
Dubya was making jokes in the front yard,
Even though he wasn't trying that hard.
And Obama was left to clean up this whole mess.
