Bands are playing
Let's go swaying
At the President's birthday ball
They'll be welcoming one and all
Happy birthday,
Best-on-Earth day
To the President FDR
From Americans near and far...

Look forward to much happier times
Look forward as we join in the grand march, the March of Dimes**
Check your sorrow till tomorrow
For the heavens will soon be bright
And we're gonna have fun tonight
There'll be rhythm and mirth
At the president's birthday ball!
(repeat once)
