Of all the qualities by which men are known,
None are better than the one I own,
For I’m the Indispensible Man!
The destiny of nations I hold in my hand,
For there’s none quite so capable in this great land.
Of all the Presidents you did ever choose,
None ever hated so much to lose,
For I’m an Indispensible Man!
Of commitments I’m making there’s no one who knows;
That’s reason to keep me, now don’t you suppose?
Now don’t you remember I started the dole,
And pulled the country out of the hole.
Now I’m the Indispensible Man!
And creating bureaus I’ve done without end,
So now the taxpayers should know I’m their friend.
(chorus)
Oh, I’m the Indispensible Man.
I never reveal one single plan,
But I keep secret all that I can.
To some it’s not sensible,
But to all, comprehensible,
I want to remain the Indispensible Man!
