F.D.R Jones Lyrics

I hear tell there′s a stranger in the Jones household
(Yes sirree, yes sirree)
That's what I am told
I hear tell there′s a new arrival six days old
(Yes sirree, yes sirree)
Worth his weight in gold

Come right in and meet the son
Christening's done
Time to have some fun
(Yes sirree, yes sirree)
Yes sirree
(Yes sirree, yes sirree)

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. Roosevelt Jones"

What a smile and how he shows 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 as 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
Oh 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
ABCs won′t matter
Teach him plain arithmetic
And a course of fireside chatter

My friends, my friends
Let′s all shout hooray
We'll be proud to affirm
When he serves his fourth term
Just you wait and see
He′ll make history
'Cause he′s Franklin D. Roosevelt Jones
