Why Not the Best? Lyrics by Oscar Brand

0

I heard a young man speaking out just the other day;
I stopped just to listen to what he had to say;
He spoke straight and simple-by that I was impressed
He said, "Once and for all, why not the best?"

He said his name was Jimmy Carter and he was running for President
And he laid out a plan of action made a lot of sense!
He talked about the government and how it used to be, for you and me;
That's the way it ought to be, right now:
Once and for all, why not the best?

He spoke plain and simple and I began to understand
I was listening to quite a man, talking to me
I began to see...
We need Jimmy Carter! Why settle for less?
America-
Once and for all, why not the best?

We need Jimmy Carter! We can't afford to settle for less
America-
Once and for all, why not the best?
Why not the best?
Why not the best?
