James K. Polk (LP版) - They Might Be Giants[00:00:00]

In 1844[00:00:06]

The democrats were split[00:00:08]

The three nominees for the presidential candidate[00:00:13]

Were martin van buren[00:00:20]

A former president and an abolitionist[00:00:22]

James buchanan a moderate[00:00:27]

Lewis cass[00:00:30]

A general and expansionist[00:00:31]

From nashville came a dark horse riding up[00:00:37]

He was James k polk[00:00:44]

Napoleon of the stump[00:00:46]

Austere severe he held few people dear[00:00:51]

His oratory filled his foes with fear[00:00:58]

The factions soon agreed[00:01:04]

He's just the man we need[00:01:06]

To bring about victory[00:01:08]

Fulfill our manifest destiny[00:01:11]

And annex the land the Mexicans command[00:01:14]

And when the vote was cast the winner was[00:01:21]

Mister James k polk[00:01:28]

Napoleon of the stump[00:01:30]

In four short years he met his every goal[00:02:06]

He seized the whole Southwest from Mexico[00:02:13]

Made sure the tarriffs fell[00:02:20]

And made the English sell the oregon territory[00:02:22]

He built an independent treasury[00:02:26]

Having done all this he sought no second term[00:02:30]

But precious few have mourned the passing of[00:02:37]

Mister James k polk[00:02:44]

Our eleventh president[00:02:45]

Young hickory[00:02:50]

Napoleon of the stump[00:02:52]
