Lyrics Franklin D Roosevelt Jones - Judy Garland

Franklin D Roosevelt Jones

That’s what I’m told
I hear tell there’s a new arrival six days old.
Yes siree, yes siree
Worth his weight in gold.
Come right in, and meet the son
Christenings done, time to have some fun
Yes siree, yes siree
Yes siree
Yes siree, yes siree
It’s a big holiday everywhere
For the Jones family has a brand new heir
He’s a joy, heaven-sent
And we proudly present Mr. Franklin D. Roosevelt Jones
When he grows up he never will stray
With a name like the one that he’s got today
When he walks down the street
Folks will say «Pleased to meet»
«Mr.
Franklin D. Roosevlet Jones»
What a smile, and how he show it He’ll be happy, all day long
What a name, I’ll bet he knows it With that handle, how can he go wrong
And the folks in the town all agree
He’ll be famous and famous as he can be How can he be a dud, or a stick in the mud
When he’s Franklin D. Roosevelt Jones
Go to sleep my baby, and maybe, you’ll balance the budget by and by You’re a lucky baby with Franklin D. for your name
Mrs. Jones' baby boy is a welcome resident
Give him a fishing rod for a toy, he’s the future president
When this rascal goes to school ABC’s won’t matter
Teach him plain old 'rithmatic and of course the Fireside Chatter
My friends, my friends, let’s all shout Hooray!
It’s a big holiday everywhere
For the Jones family has a brand new heir
We’ll be proud to affirm when he serves his fourth term
Just you wait and see
Yeah!
He’ll make history!
Yeah!
'Cuz he’s Franklin D. Roosevelt Jones!
