Our Favorite Son Lyrics by Original Broadway Cast of The Will Rogers Follies

The Will Rogers Follies

1991

ZIEGFELD'S FAVORITE
(spoken)
Mr. Rogers, have you ever thought about running for President of the United States?
WILL
(spoken)
Well, let me tell ta, this country might be used to having an "anything-and-all-mean" as a presidential candidate, but we haven't quite someone in the professional actor stage.... That's what I said in 1928, folks
ZIEGFELD'S FAVORITE
(spoken)
Mr. Rogers, you've been invited to speak at the Republican convention in Kansas City and you've been invited to speak at the Democratic convention in Houston
WILL
(spoken)
Oh boy, the Democrats! They always have more fun in their conventions 'cause they know they aren't going anywhere afterwards
ZIEGFELD'S FAVORITE
(spoken)
So, will you run for President or not, Mr. Rogers?
WILL
(spoken)
I sure will
GIRLS
The elephant trunk and Democrat donkey
Will be down the drain and sunk
The day the peoples victory is won
With spirit and spunk he's gunna debunk
The jabber and junk that they've been feeding us
Hooray for our favorite son!
WILL
You Democrats and Republicans I'm asking for your vote
I've got this Debunk party with some new ideas to float
Don't ask me what my platform is I leave that stuff alone
Cause no one keeps those promises as history has shown
I'll run a clean campaign and that will be my winning card
Considering the kind we've had well that won't be too hard
BOYS
(spoken)
Mr. Chairman!
(sung)
The greatest sooner state of Oklahoma
By clean sweep by acclamation, we proudly place in nomination
The greatest sooner state of Oklahoma
Cast its 22 votes (22 votes, 22votes..)
For
William Penn Adair Rogers
William Penn Adair Rogers
William Penn Adair Rogers
Yay!
GIRLS
The elephant trunk and democrat donkey
Will be down the drain and sunk
The day the peoples victory is won
With spirit and spunk, he's gunna debunk
The jabber and junk that they've been feeding us
Hooray for our favorite son!
Hooray for our favorite
Hooray for our favorite
Hooray for our favorite Son
HOORAY!!!
