That's Ike!
The thirty-fourth Preisdent.
Eight years in the White House
Old Ike and Mamie spent.
The first Prez that Old Man Ribber call recall,
And his record wasn't bad at all.

That's Ike!
Top man in World War Two.
Supreme commander Europe,
Not just Red, White, and Blue!
A man revered and honored the world wide,
And in forty-eight Dems wanted him on their side.

He got the ball rolling building the highways that all of us call the Interstate.
He sent troops down to Little Rock forcing the schools there to integrate.
He kept prosperity to the economy
But never was as flashy as John Kennedy.

That's Ike!
"Did nothing" it's been said.
If that's what you've been told
You have been misled!
Used wise restraint committing U.S. force,
He spent his free time out on the golf course.

The fifties were placid and peaceful, recorded on history's page.
Most folks who remember this time recall it as a golden age.
We couldn't be scared for there all the while
Was old Ike's bald head and his warm grandpa smile!

That's Ike!
So listen to my poor rhymes.
He surely was a case of
The right man for the times.
Ike did a decent job, yeah not that badly

(Slowly)

I don't think we'd been better off
If somehow we'd have had Adlai!
