The Lyrics
Forgotten Presidents - how tragic!
Had no Obama/Reagan magic!
Martin Van Buren,
Jackson's wing man, his V.P. and then President Eight -
Good but not great.
First President to
Come from New York, native son of the town Kinderhook -
He was no schnook!
Poor forgotten Martin,
You're gone without a trace.
Poor forgotten Martin,
You still deserve a place.
Fought for the people,
Stood for the right, broke the might of the National Bank.
We've him to thank.
Then a depression
Hit and he lost re-election to Tippecanoe
And Tyler too!
Poor forgoten Martin,
The Whigs gave you the screw.
Poor forgotten Martin,
But still you were not through!
Forgotten Presidents - there's still more.
Who can remember Millard Fillmore?
Martin Van Buren
Tried for the Dems nomination next in 'forty-four -
Polk slammed the door!
In 'forty -eight, he ran as a FreeSoil third party man - it wasn't wise.
Cost Dems the prize!
Porr forgotten Martin,
You"re quite unknown, it's true.
Only Old Man Ribber
Can write songs about you.
