I'm twice as great as Washington,

Because third terms they didn’t get
They needn't think l can't.
I 'm twice as great as Jefferson
And Madison combined,
I 'm twice as great as ail the lot
Of Presidents, I find.
I'm greater than my country,
And its customs and its laws.

And its precodental flaws,
I'm twice as great as any man
Above or'neath the sod—
In fact, I'm half inclined to think
I'm twice as great as God.
