A
Let's have Christ our president
A               E7      A
Let us have him for our king
A
Cast your vote for the carpenter
A                  E7   A
That they call the Nazarene

A
 The only way
A
 We can ever beat
A                 E7    A
 The crooked politician men
      A
Is to  cast the money-changers
A
 Out of the temple
A       E7        A
Put the Carpenter in

        A
Oh it's Jesus Christ our president
A    E7       A
God above our king
       A
With a job and pension for young and old
        A         E7    A
We will make hallelujah ring

(E7)(A)(E7)(A)                             (you can do that for as long as
                                             you want.)
A

Every year we waste enough
   A        E7       A
To feed the ones who starve
   A
We build our civilization up
       A        E7        A
And we shoot it down with wars


             A         E7
But with the  Carpenter
A           E7
 On the seat
 A             E7      A    A E7
Away up in the capital town
A       E7
 The USA
A                   E7
 Would be on the way
A   E7     A    E7 A E7 A E7
Prosperity bound
E7 A
