A tune from Irving Berlin's - The President.

It gets lonely in the White House
when your cares begin
And the White House is
a big place to be lonely in

When you're all alone
and staring into space
And you wish the man you ran against
could be here in your place

It gets lonely in the White House
when you've been attacked
By the loyal opposition
getting in the act

If you make the wrong decision,
when the final chips are down
The White House is the
loneliest place in town

It gets lonely in the White House
when you're sitting there
And you have to do your
thinking in a rocking chair

When some exercise would
keep you feeling well
But a journey to the golf course
and the country's gone to hell

When a bill to lower taxes
must go on the shelf
and you'd like to sign it
to pay less, yourself.

When your speech is optimistic
but the stocks keep tumblin' down

The White House is the
loneliest place

in town

Dee Fontaine: @qwirky Good evening Rich, I hope you're doing well. So sorry I haven't been by or to post a song. My computer died and am stuck without having any other way how I would be able post a song. But thought I'd use my lap top and tell you that I just adored your take on this song. I agree with Brad and Joyce also. You've done a great performance. Miss you. Hopefully I'll be able to repair my computer as soon as possible. Stay safe, Rich. Love, Dee xox
