Lyrics

Episode version

Children:

We are the mediocre Presidents.

You won't find our faces on dollars or on cents.

There's Taylor, there's Tyler, there's Fillmore and there's Hayes,

There's William Henry Harrison.

Harrison:

I died in thirty days!

Children:

We...

Are...

The...

Adequate, forgettable,

Occasionally regrettable

Caretaker Presidents of the U.S.A.!

Album version

Seymour Skinner:

Good evening, everyone, and welcome to a wonderful evening of theater and picking up after yourselves. (someone coughs) We begin with a tribute to our lesser-known Presidents.

(drum roll, a bugle plays "Hail to the Chief")

Children:

We are the mediocre Presidents.

You won't find our faces on dollars or on cents.

There's Taylor, there's Tyler, there's Fillmore and there's Hayes,

There's William Henry Harrison.

Harrison:

I died in thirty days!

Children:

We...

Are...

The...

Adequate, forgettable,

Occasionally regrettable

Caretaker Presidents of the U.S.A.!

(bugle plays "Hail to the Chief," trombone plays "Shave and a Haircut," tuba plays "Two bits")

(applause)

Behind the Laughter
