Verse 1
(D major) (G major) (D major) SALLY'S you boys make head of tail
of what that was all about?
Well, it (G major) just proves what I've been thinking
all along.
The trouble with
these European governments
is they're all run by foreigners.
I don't think that friend
of Sally's
should have been (D major) so eager for
an (G major) election.
Spoken like a Republican.
What do you mean?
Well, if you boys had a candidate for 52
you wouldn't be so afraid
of elections.
Oh, yeah
We've got a candidate want
to start an argument
the Presidential year will
soon be drawing near
the people soon will (E major) choose
their favorite (A minor) song.
I Wonder (F major) what they'll (A minor) do in 1952
I (A major) wonder who they'll send
to Washing (D major) ton
they like (G major) Ike and Ike is (D major) good on a mic
they like Ike but Ike says he don't wan (G major) na
oh that makes (D major) (G major) Ike the kind of fella they (D major) like
and what's more
they seem to think he's (G major) gonna
but (C major) Harry won't get out
they're in for plenty of (G major) fights
Harry won't (E major) get out.
(A minor) He's got squat (D major) ters' rights.
(G major) But (D major) there's (G major) Ike,
and Ike is (D major) good on a mic.
And they know the votes that
he can (G major) carry.
But don't for (A major) get there's Harry.
(C major) Yes, but (D major) they like (G major) Ike. (D major) (G major) (D major)
(G major) They won't take Saltonstall.
and Stassen's chance is small.
The same would go for
(E major) Vandenberg and (A minor) Tack.
And Dewey's right in line
with (A major) William Jennings Bryan.
There isn't anyone that they can (D major) draft.
ha ha! (G major) They (D major) like Ike,
(G major) and Ike is good on (D major) a mic.
They like Ike.
But Ike says he won't take it.
Oh, (G major) that (D major) makes (G major) Ike
the kind of fella they (D major) like.
And what's more,
they seem to think he'll make it.
(G major) But (C major) Harry's on the ground,
and should Republicans (G major) win,
When they come around, (D major) (E major)
(A major) he won't let them (D major) in.
(G major) If it's Ike, your chief can get on his (C major) bike,
(D major) And his things a motor van will carry.
You (C major) can't (A minor) do that to Harry!
(C major) Ah, but (D major) they like Ike. (G major) (D major) (G major) (D major)
(G major) (D major) (G major) (D major) (E minor) (A major) (A minor) (D major)
(G major) For nearly 20 years,
we've had the people's cheers,
the Democrats contin (E major) ue to ad (A minor) vance.
Of course they could arrange
to make a sudden change,
but (A major) none's around who seems
to have a chance.
(D major) A -da -da -da -da -da
-da -da -da -da (G major) -da -da!
They (D major) like (G major) Ike! (D major)
(G major) And Ike is good on a (D major) mic.
They like Ike.
But Ike says he's not bidding.
Oh, (G major) that makes Ike (D major) the
(G major) kind of fella they (D major) like.
And what's more,
they seem to think he's kidding.
(G major) But (C major) Harry won't consent.
They'll get a sock in the (G major) jaw.
Republican president?
(D major) (E major) (A major) That's (G major) again (D major) st the law!
(G major) If it's Ike, your chief can go on a (C major) hike,
an (D major) d we boys will see he
doesn't tarry.
Please don't (A minor) do that to (C major) Harry!
Ah, (D major) but they like (G major) Ike. (D major) (G major) (D major) (E minor)
(A major) (D major) (G major)
It seems that every spring,
they all approach the ring,
And cockily keep (E major) throw
ing in their (A minor) hat s.
They always lose,
but then they come right back again.
And some of (A major) them come back
as Democrat (D major) s. (G major) (D major)
But Ike says he don't choose to.
Oh, (G major) that makes Ike the
kind of fella they (D major) like.
And what's more,
they know he won't re (G major) fuse to.
But (C major) Harry's quite content
to stay there living in (G major) peace.
The people pay the (E major) rent.
(A minor) You can't (D major) break his lease.
(G major) If (D major) it's (G major) Ike, your chief can go on a (D major) strike.
And we boys will hand his hat to (G major) Harry.
They can't do (A minor) that to Harry.
(C major) Ah, (G major) but they die, (D major) die (G major) (G major)
They Like Ike
