| Song Lyrics: |
In 1844, the Democrats were split
The 3 nominees for the presidential candidate
were Martin van Buren, a former president
and an abolitionist
James Buchanan, a moderate
Lewis Cass, a general and expansionist
From Nashville came a dark horse riding up
He was James K. Polk, Napoleon of the Stump
Austere, severe, he held few people dear
His oratory filled his foes with fear
The factions soon agreed
He's just the man we need
to bring about victory
fulfill our manifest destiny
and annex the land the Mexicans command
And when the votes were cast, the winner was
Mr. James K. Polk, Napoleon of the Stump
In four short years he met his every goal
He seized the whole Southwest from Mexico
Made sure the tariffs fell
and made the English sell
the Oregon Territory
He built an independent treasury
Having done all this, he sought no second term
But precious few have mourned the passing of
Mr. James K. Polk, our eleventh president
Young Hickory, Napoleon of the Stump (Stavro Arrgolus) |
