OUR MOST BELOVED
PRESIDENT
IKE EISENHOWER
The man behind the smile
I don't know how he is on creeds
I never heard him say,
But he has a smile that fits his face
He wears it every day.
If things go wrong, He won't
complain,
Just tries to see the joke.
He is always finding little ways
Of helping other folks.
He sees good in every one,
Their faults he never mentions;
He has a lot of confidence
In peoples' good intentions.
You soon forget what ails you
When you happen 'round this
man;
He can cure a case of whooping
cough
Quicker'n the doctor can.
Yes you will know him, If you
meet him
And you will find it worth your
while
To cultivate the friendship of our
President Ike Eisenhower
