Words and music by Thomas A. Murray and James J. Mullan 

 

 

They're wrangling everywhere which man should have that chair

That celebrated chair in Washington

But take a little tip, that man will be Al Smith

A man that's fair and square with everyone

He never boasts nor brags, is loyal to our flag

That emblem that's the best beneath the sun

 

Chorus:

Al Smith, Al Smith, a true and loyal son

There's not a man in this broad land more fit for Washington

Raised upon the East side without pomp or poise

And with his fame he never changed

He's still one of the boys

So let us get together and every effort lend

So Al our pal can follow Cal as our next President

 

Now let us shout aloud that we are mighty proud

To have him lead the good old USA

He's every inch a man, is stainless, strong and grand

A record that will stand for all the time

So if you're dry or wet, just make a little bet

That Al will take the chair in '29

 

Chorus:
