Lyrics
Four years have passed It's time again to state the main event Election Day is drawing near We'll pick our president

Republicans and Democrats hold national conventions They built their party platforms to broadcast their intentions The candidates they nominate will surely have potential They'll have to campaign long and hard to prove they're presidential

With whistle stops and photo ops And great debates and TV spots Posters, pics, even dirty tricks They run for president

The key states are the bigger ones with larger populations They have the electoral votes it takes to win elections <span style="font-family:tahoma,helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:15.800000190734863px;">Abe Lincoln, Grant, and FDR, they all got here this way <span style="font-family:tahoma,helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:15.800000190734863px;">Be sure your mom and dad get out to vote Election Day

<span style="font-family:tahoma,helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:15.800000190734863px;">After whistle stops and photo ops <span style="font-family:tahoma,helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:15.800000190734863px;">And great debates and TV spots <span style="font-family:tahoma,helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:15.800000190734863px;">Election Day, we'll have our say <span style="font-family:tahoma,helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:15.800000190734863px;">And pick a president
