​​I got a letter today from the president
And it came all the way from Washington, Dc
At the top he put my name instead of resident
And signed it at the bottom personally

Well I wonder why the heck
he'd want to write to me
But I suppose that he is everybody's friend
And I guess he likes to keep in touch
with all his country's people
Even those who can't write letters back to him

Oh I never started school
but learned the golden rule
And the preacher taught me how to print my name
And it's twice as bad as stealing
if you hurt somebody's feeling
So I better write a letter to the president today

Ooh
​Oh ohh ye-eh-eh

Oh I never started school
but learned the golden rule
And the preacher taught me how to print my name
And it's twice as bad as stealing
if you hurt somebody's feeling
So I better write a letter to the president today

​I got a letter (letter) today from the president
(it's the president)
And it came all the way (all the way all the way)
from Washington, Dc (All the way [x5] )
At the top he put my name instead of resident
(he put my name instead of resident)
And he signed it at the bottom personally
Oh oh yeah-eh-eh
And I wish someone would read it to me​
