The President he´s a pretty nice guy
I´d like to take him out to dinner sometime
Drive around in his motorcade
Talk about those bills that ain´t been paid
And maybe later, on just for fun,
We´ll shoot off his submachine gun
We´ll shoot out the sky, shoot out the sea
Shoot out those dreams about you and me

Take my hand girl, I know where you´ve been
Up the flag pole and back down again
Walk on water or sink or swim
When you´re with me Her Majesty, the Queen, is a pretty nice babe
And I´d like to take her down to St. Petersburg someday
Hang around with her friends and old Joe Kennedy
After dinner I might give her a squeeze
Then we´ll just see how blue her blood really is
And in the morning she can introduce me to her kids

Take my hand girl, I know where you´ve been
Up the flag pole and back down again
Walk on water or sink or swim
When you´re with me well our Lord Jesus he wants me to pray
So I do every single day
I don´t know if I coming in very clear
But supposedly he can hear me from here
And sometimes he gives me a little relief
When I´m down here on my knees
But there´s no redemption on Judgement Day
For people like you and me

Take my hand girl, I know where you´ve been
Up the flag pole and back down again
Walk on water or sink or swim
When you´re with me
