Roosevelt ran for president
In 1944.
But the people for Dewey went
In 1944.
Roosevelt made promises galore,
But since he kept so few before,
The people finally got sore
In 1944.
Harold Ickes across the country ranged
In 1944,
Saying our "horse" should not be changed
In 1944.
But surely no one except a fool
Would keep a balky aging mule
When he gets so he cannot pull
In 1944.
Ickes, Hopkins, Wallace and Biddle, too,
In 1944.
And the others of this sordid crew
In 1944.
Did stump the country for their old boss,
Afraid he would be a losing hoss,
But they were thrown for a loss
In 1944.
