Lyrics

Oh Andrew Jackson, our seventh president
A man of the people he was the one,
With stubborn pride, he persevered..
From when he began, till his time was done.

He entered the White House, granted access
For country yokels to come on in...
They jumped on the furniture, pulled down drapes.
The biggest raucous that ever has been.


Oh Andy Jackson, Dear old Hickory,
Pushed for democracy, he was key,
For promoting folks to grandstand glory,
This slavery supporter, this Indian abhorrer,
This remarkable dueler from Tennessee.

Well President Jackson, a man of the people,
From any problem , never shrank.
He built a cabinet in his kitchen,
Appointed his favorites, waged war with a bank.

Oh Andy Jackson, Dear King Mob,
Pushed for democracy, he was key,
For promoting folks to grandstand glory,
This slavery supporter, this Indian abhorrer,
A remarkable dueler from Tennessee.


Oh, Andy Jackson, it's such a thrill
To see you each day, in a splendiferous way,
With your image engraved on our
Twenty dollar bill....
