Lyrics to the song "I Know All The Presidents in Order":

Washington whose VP was John Adams
John Adams whose VP was Jefferson
Jefferson, Madison, James Monroe, John Adams
Not the same John Adams, John Quincy Adams, a different one

Two terms of Jackson, Martin van Buren
William Henry Harrison
Tipacanoe and John Tyler too
Who ran against James K. Polk in '44, I don't know but it wasn't who won

CHORUS

I know all the Presidents, the Presidents in order
Do you know all the Presidents, then sing along with me
I know all the Presidents, the Presidents in order
Up to two thousand and five they number forty-three

Gimme a Z, gimme a A, Gimme a C-H-A
Gimme a R, gimme a Y, Gimme a T-A-Y
Gimme a L, gimme a O, Gimme a R, rah rah
Zachary Taylor, Zachary Taylor, sis boom bah

Milliard Filmore, the last chief executive ever elected from the Whig party
Comes in a lucky number thirteen

Then Franklin Pierce, and next came Buchanon
He was a bachelor man and never got him any
Number sixteen Abraham Lincoln
You'd be right if you were thinkin'
He's the handsome bearded fellow in profile on the penny

Andrew Johnson, U.S. Grant and Rutherford B. Hayes
Garfield who was shot so Cherster Arthur took his place
Give me two orders of Grover Cleveland with a slice or Harrison in between
Bill McKinley, Roosevelt, Taft, the biggest President that's ever been

CHORUS

I know all the Presidents, the Presidents in order
Do you know all the Presidents, then sing along with me
I know all the Presidents, the Presidents in order
Up to two thousand a five they number forty-three

Wilson, Harding, Coolidge, Hoover
FDR three times
Truman, Ike, Kennedy, Johnson
Nixon who resigned

Oh Gerald Ford
The man I adored
You of Michigan football MVP in '34

Carter, Reagan and Iran
Bush in battle with Saddam
Clinton's intern made him glad
And W more terms than his dad

CHORUS (original from 1999)

I know all the Presidents, the Presidents in order
Do you know all the Presidents, I don't think you do
I know all the Presidents, the Presidents in order
Back in 1999 they numbered forty-two

Chords are pretty easy. With capo on the seventh fret it's just various combinations of D minor, A minor and E. I suppose it'd be a pretty good study aid for kids if it didn't refer to James Buchanon as not gettin' any......
