F.D.R. Jones Songtext
von Arthur Askey

I heard tell there′s a stranger in the Jones household
Yes siree, yes siree, that's what I′m told
I heard tell there's a new arrival, six days old
Yes siree, yes siree, worth his weight in gold

Come right in and meet the son
Christening's done, time to have some fun

Yes siree, yes siree, yes siree
Yes siree, yes siree

It′s a big holiday everywhere
For the Jones family has a brand new heir
He′s the joy heaven sent and they proudly present
Mr. Franklin D. Roosevelt Jones


When he grows up he never will stray
With a name like the one he has got today
As he walks down the street, folks will say, "Pleased to meet
Mr. Franklin D. Roosevelt Jones"
What a smile and how he shows it
He'll keep happy all day long
What a name, I′ll bet he knows it
With that handle how can he go wrong?
And the folks in the town all agree

He'll be famous, as famous as he can be
How can he be a dud or a stick in the mud
When he′s Franklin D. Roosevelt Jones?

Yes siree, yes siree, yes siree
Yes siree, yes siree

What a smile and how he shows it
He'll keep happy all day long
What a name, I′ll bet he knows it
With that handle how can he go wrong?
And the folks in the town all agree
He'll be famous, as famous as he can be
How can he be a dud or a stick in the mud
When he's Franklin D. Roosevelt Jones?

Yes siree, yes siree, yes siree
Yes siree
