Songdrops – My Presentation lyrics

First, I'd like to thank the teacher for selecting me first,
To give my presentation that I totally remembered was today.
I spent the whole weekend doing lots of preparation,
And definitely not just playing video games.

The topic that I chose after much consideration,
Is a very interesting topic.
Yes, the topic that I chose after much deliberation,
Is American presidents.

George Washington was the very first president.
He couldn't tell a lie. He chopped down a tree to make his wooden teeth.
I think we all know who the second president was,
So I won't waste valuable time saying his or her name.

Benjamin Franklin might have been the greatest President.
You're shaking your head; I think you might have misunderstood.
Benjamin Franklin might have been the greatest resident,
Of the town where he lived. He invented electric kites.

Abraham Lincoln was a very honest president.
He wore a top hat, had a beard, and he was tall.
Before he moved to the White House, he lived in Gettysburg.
He gave a speech once at his old Gettysburg address.

I bet it made him feel good when he bought something at a store,
To see his face on the pennies he got back.
Well, I bet your head is swimming from all this information.
I should stop here so you don't get overwhelmed,

But it looks like I still have some more time left.
What luck, what great, great luck.
So now I'll talk about, to complete my presentation,
The American early wars.

The very first war was the Revolutionary War.
It was very revolutionary as wars go.
Paul Revere's midnight ride happened largely in the dark.
The British wore red coats; they liked to be fashionably warm.

The War of 1812 happened mainly in 1812.
Yes, 1812 was the year of that war.
The Civil War was not a very civil war;
Whoever named it the Civil War was probably being ironic.

The First World War was before the Second World War,
Which was after the First World War according to all of my research.
In closing, I would like to recite a famous Lincoln speech,
But sadly now I'm almost out of time.

So that's my presentation. If you have any questions at all,
Please don't hesitate to ask Google,
Because it's good to do your own research,
Yes, it's good to do your own research,
So I tried hard not to spoil anything you might find.
Yes, I tried hard not to spoil anything you might find.
Please stay seated as you clap, and that's my...
Time.
