I hear tell, there's a stranger
in the Jones household
Yes siree, yes siree, that's what I'm told
I hear tell, there's a new arrival
six days old
Yes siree, yes siree,
worth his weight in gold
Come right in an d meet the son
Christian's done,
time to have some fun
Yes, sirree, yes, sirree, yes, sirree.
Yes, sirree, yes, sirree.
It's a big holiday everywhere.
But the Jones family
have a brand new heir.
He's the joy, heaven's sin.
They proudly present
Mr. Franklin D. Roosevelt Jones.
When he grows up, he never will stray.
With a name like the one
that you've got today.
As he walks down the street, they'll
Say, pleased to meet Mr. Franklin
D. Roosevelt Jones.
What a smile and how he
shows it.
He'll keep happy all day long.
What a name, I'll bet he knows it.
With that hand, though,
how can he go wrong?
And the folks in the town all agree.
He'll be famous,
as famous as he can be.
How can he be a dirt or stick in the mud
When he's Franklin D. Roosevelt, Joe.
Yes, sirree, yes, sirree, yes, sirree.
Oh, Franklin, oh, D. Roosevelt.
Oh, Franklin, oh, D. Roosevelt.
Oh, Franklin, oh, D.
Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Joe! Joe!
Take a bow, Marianne.
