In their uninteresting lives | |||
But they need someone to show them how | But they need someone to show them how | ||
I | I played football in high school | ||
It was natural that | It was natural that I'd rule | ||
Come with me to the promised land | |||
''Soy el presidente de los Estados Unidos'' (''de America!'') | |||
''Soy el presidente de los Estados Unidos'' (woo-hoo) | |||
Dancing on the Porta-Johns | Dancing on the Porta-Johns | ||
Swimming in New Orleans swamps | |||
With my flowing long blond hair | With my flowing long blond hair | ||
Someday I may go too far | Someday I may go too far | ||

Hope her face is healing up | Hope her face is healing up | ||

Throwing garbage on the fans | Throwing garbage on the fans | ||
Hopefully they'll understand | Hopefully they'll understand | ||
