Call Me Madam - They Like Ike Lyrics

1950 Broadway
Call Me Madam the Musical - They Like Ike Lyrics

The song is written by Irving Berlin.

The presidential year will soon be drawing near
The people soon will choose their favorite son
I wonder what they'll do in nineteen fifty-two
I wonder who they'll send to Washington

They like Ike
And Ike is good on a mike
They like Ike
But Ike says he don't wanna

That makes Ike
The kind of feller they like
And what's more
They seem to think he's gonna

But Harry won't get out
They're in for plenty of fights
Harry won't get out
He's got squatter's rights

But there's Ike
And Ike is good on a mike
And they know
The votes that he can carry
But don't forget there's Harry
But they like Ike

For nearly twenty years
We've had the people's cheers
The Democrats continue to advance
Of course, they could arrange
To make a sudden change
But none's around who seems to have a chance

Ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta
They like Ike
And Ike is good on a mike
They like Ike
But Ike says he's not bidding

That makes Ike
The kind of feller they like
And what's more
They seem to think he's kidding

But Harry won't consent
They'll get a sock on the jaw
Republican President?
That's against the law

If it's Ike
Your Chief can go on a hike
And we boys
Will see he doesn't tarry
Please don't do that to Harry!
But they like Ike

They won't take Saltonstall
And Sasscer's chance is small
The same would go for Vandenburg and Taft
And Dewey's right in line
With William Jennings Bryan
There isn't anyone that they can draft

Except for the fact that
They like Ike
And Ike is good on a mike
They like Ike
But Ike says he won't take it

That makes Ike
The kind of feller they like
And what's more
They seem to think he'll make it

But Harry's on the ground
And should Republicans win
When they come around
He won't let them in

If it's Ike
Your Chief can get on his bike
And his things
A moving van will carry
They can't do that to Harry!
But they like Ike
