Richard Nixon Died Today

Mark Hosler

[Intro: Richard Nixon and Mark Hosler]
If you'll join us in this song
I think you'll recognize it when I start it
Let me get a chord-

One, two, three, four

Always remember:
Others may hate you
But those who hate you don't win
Unless you hate them
And then, you destroy yourself

[Verse 1]
Richard Nixon died today
That's just plain poppycock
And then, you destroy yourself
I saw it on the news, they said
Au revoir. Au revoir. We'll see you again

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I guess he was okay
Well, I am not a crook
He was the president everybody hated
Because pеople have got to know
Whethеr or not their president is a crook
Their president is a crook
But I am not a crook
Crook, crook

[Chorus]
And I don't dream about the president anymore
Crook, crook, as a flower she grew
And all of my friends, they say that they don't either
Crook, crook, and as a fair young flower, she died

[Verse 2]
Richard Nixon died today (Poppycock)
I saw it on the news, they said (Because people have gotta know)
Oh, I guess he was okay (Their president's a crook)
I'm watching history remade (crook, crook)

[Pre-Chorus]
He went to a special place in heaven (I have never obstructed justice)
Called Yorba Linda
(We don't have a good, um... word for it in English
Poppycock)

[Chorus]
And I don't dream about the President anymore
Crook crook, as a flower she grew
And most of my friends, they say that they don't either
And as a fair young flower, she died

[Outro]
Richard Nixon died today
That's just plain poppycock. We'll see you again
Richard Nixon died today
We'll see you again. We'll see you again
Au revoir. Au revoir
