The play had run it's course
And the player done his best
Time had come to leave the stage
For the actor it's time to rest
And this leader of a mighty land
Said farewell with a friendly hand
But when times are tough
And you think you've had enough
Remember what I say
For wherever I am I' I I see
So try to win, try to win, try to win one for me
The grand sweet song began
For this all American boy
Thru college to the radio show
But football was his pride and joy
On the silver screen he found a pearl
And so it's true he always got the girl
He said "I'm an ordinary man
With the fresh air of common sense
I will do all that can be done
To rebuild American excellence
So our heroic dreams can be a certainty
Let the people ring the Bell of Liberty"
The man could joke and smile
Yet try to win each victory
So he negotiated hard
And won his place in history
Now they can wander down a leafy lane
He and his Nancy hand in hand again
