How I Saved Roosevelt - Marcus

That was president elect franklin d roosevelt

Ladies and gentlemen speaking to a crowd

Of supporters here in miami's beautiful bayfront park

A group of notables are pressing in around

The president elect's car

There's mayor anton cermak of chicago and

There's been a shot i can't see wait

Mr roosevelt is waving he's all right

But mayor cermak has been hit

The police have somebody in custody an immigrant

Giuseppe zangara

We take you now to a group of eyewitnesses

Who will tell us what they saw

We're crowded up close

And i see this guy

He's squeezing by

I catch his eye

I say to him where do you

Think you are trying to go boy

Whoa boy

I say listen you runt

You're not pulling that stunt

No gentleman pushes his way to the front

I say move to the back which he does

With a grunt

Which is how i saved roosevelt

Then

Well i'm in my seat

I get up to clap

I feel this tap

I turn this sap

He says he can't see

I say find a lap

And go sit on it

Which is how i saved

Then

He started to swear

And he climbed on a chair

He was aiming a gun i was standing right there

So i pushed it as hard as i could in the air

Which is how i saved roosevelt

Lucky i was there

That's why he was standing back so far

That's why when he aimed he missed the car

Just lucky i was there

Or we'd have been left

Bereft of f d r

You think that i scare

No scare

You think that i care

No care

I look at the world

No good no fair nowhere

When i am boy

No school

I work in a ditch

No chance

The smart and the rich

Ride by

Don't give no glance

Ever since then because of them

I get even for the stomach

Only hoover up in washington

Is wintertime in washington

Too cold for the stomach in washington

I go down to miami kill roosevelt

No laugh

No funny

Men with the money

They control everything

Roosevelt hoover

No make no difference

You think i care who i kill

I no care who i kill

Long as it's king

The crowd's breaking up

And i hear these shots

And i mean lots

I thought i'd plotz

I spotted hi

My stomach was tied in knots

So i barrelled

Harold

No happened was this

He was blowong a kiss

She means roosevelt

I was saying to harold this weather is bliss

When you think that we might have missed seeing

Him miss

Lucky we were there

It was a historical event

Worth every penny that we spent

Just lucky we were there

To think if i let him get up closer

I saw right awat he was insane

Oh this is my husband we're from maine

He told me to sit but i said no sir

This makes our vacation a real success

Are you with the press

Yes

Oh god i'm a mess

Some left wing foreigner that's my guess

You think i am left

No left no right

No anything

Only american

Zangara have nothing

No luck no girl

Zangara no smart no school

But zangara no foreign tool

Zangara american

American nothing

And why there no photographers

For zangara no photographers

Only capitalists get photographers

Just lucky i was there

I'm on the front page

And all of those pictures

And soon no

Like a star

Just for you i was there

We had one

Be more
