They Might Be Giants - James K. Polk слова песни
In 1844, the Democrats were splitThe three nominees for the presidential candidateWere Martin Van Buren, a former president and an abolitionistJames Buchanan, a moderateLouis Cass, a general and expansionistFrom Nashville came a dark horse riding upHe was James K. Polk, Napoleon of the StumpAustere, severe, he held few people dearHis oratory filled his foes with fearThe factions soon agreedHe`s just the man we needTo bring about victoryFulfill our manifest destinyAnd annex the land the Mexicans commandAnd when the votes were cast the winner wasMister James K. Polk, Napoleon of the StumpIn four short years he met his every goalHe seized the whole southwest from MexicoMade sure the tarriffs fellAnd made the English sell the Oregon territoryHe built an independent treasuryHaving done all this he sought no second termBut precious few have mourned the passing ofMister James K. Polk, our eleventh presidentYoung Hickory, Napoleon of the Stump
