Warren Harding (A Life) Lyrics

A new babe, Warren on November 2nd would arrive

To the Harding's in the year, 1865

Attended Ohio Central, journalism, his forte

Then, ran the Marion Star Newspaper everyday

In '91, he wed Florence, to their new home, they would go

Had no kids, so she helped his Marion Star grow

Was Ohio Senator four years, lieutenant governor for two

In '15, US Senator, his influence grew

Warren Gamaliel Harding

Our 29th President

From '21 until '23

Warren Gamaliel Harding

Worked to improve government

From the White House, Washington DC

In '21, Warren took the presidential oath

After winning votes from men and now, women, both

He reduced taxes and raised tariffs to help businesses win

Restricted immigration to hire from within

The Federal Budget System, he improved, the bill, he signed

A world conference to reduce arms he was behind

But, some within his team broke laws, took bribes, embezzled, too

Like Teapot Dome, though Harding free of guilt, the view

Warren Gamaliel Harding

Our 29th President

From '21 until '23

Warren Gamaliel Harding

Worked to improve government

From the White House, Washington DC

Warren wasn't well for some time, but he traveled around to show

People his policies, then in San Francisco

On August 2nd of '23, his heart gave out, he died

Reviving him was unsuccessful, although they tried

He was deeply mourned as the train returned home with Warren inside

The next year, his wife, Florence was laid by his side

His legacy was the normalcy that came with his policies

Though, many feel weakness darkened his history

Warren Gamaliel Harding

Our 29th President

From '21 until '23

Warren Gamaliel Harding

Worked to improve government

From the White House, Washington DC
