Lyrics

People want some Jazzercise
In their uninteresting lives
But they need someone to show them how
I played football in high school
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
Swimming in New Orleans swamps
With my flowing long blond hair
Someday I may go too far
Harm someone with my guitar
There's so much pressure to be weird

Soy el presidente de los Estados Unidos (de America!)
Soy el presidente de los Estados Unidos (de America!)

Hope her face is healing up
Just a couple surface cuts
Dropped a cooler on her head
Hopefully she isn't dead
That was stupid as it gets
Worth a hearty "what the heck"
Throwing garbage on the fans
Hopefully they'll understand

Soy el presidente de los Estados Unidos (de America!)
Soy el presidente de los Estados Unidos (de America!)

People wanna Jazzercise
With their uninteresting lives
But they need someone to show them how
I'm a natural lunatic
It was natural that they'd pick
Me to lead them to the promised land

I'm the president of the United Flakes (of America)
I'm the president of the United Flakes (woo-hoo)

Dancing on the Porta-Johns
Swimming in the Redding swamp
With my flowing long blond hair
Someday I may go too far
Harm someone with my guitar
There's so much pressure to be weird

I'm the president of the United Flakes (of Australia)
I'm the president of the United Flakes (woo-hoo)

I pledge allegiance, to the flag
Of the United Flakes of America
And to the republic, for which it stands
One nation under god, indivisible
With liberty and justice for all

I'm the president of the United Flakes (of Uzbekistan)
I'm the president of the United Flakes (woo-hoo)
I'm the president of the United Flakes (of America)
I'm the president of the United Flakes (woo-hoo)
