Hail to the Chief lyrics!
Ready to laugh?

Hail to the Chief we have chos-en for the na - tion,
Hail to the Chief! We sa-lute him, one and all._______
Hail to the Chief, as we pledge co-op - er -a- tion_____
In proud ful-fill-ment of a great, no-ble call.____

Yours is the aim to make this grand coun-try grand-er,
This you will do, That's our strong, firm be-lief.__
Hail to the one we se-lect-ed as com-mand-er,
Hail to the Pres-i-dent! Hail to the Chief!


http://www.digitaltimes.com/karaoke/singers/patriotic/hailtothechief.html

For starters:

"Hail to the Chief we have chos-en for the na - tion."

Yeah, well, who's 'we?' Does the Supreme Court have a choir or something?

Then there's this:

"Yours is the aim to make this grand coun-try grand-er,
This you will do, That's our strong, firm be-lief."

Must I explain?

2. Do the pronouns change for a female president?
I like the version from Dave better -- "Hail to the chief, he's the one we all say hail to! I have the power when I am in the shower!"

(or something like that)

3. I'm glad no one sings this....
"Hail to the Chief we have chos-en for the na - tion"

Given the current occupant of the White House, this particular lyric is so unfortunately sad.

9. the Supreme Court Justices could sing that one, although...
...they may not "get" the irony.

5. OK, you need to get out of my brain RIGHT NOW.
I was walking to the computer muttering these lyrics, wondering if anyone knew them, and thought "Hey, maybe I'll post something on DU about it", and of course I thought of the "hail to the chief, he's the chief and he needs hailing" bit from My Fellow Americans, too.

Get OUT! BEGONE! :silly:
