It Gets Lonely In The White House Lyrics - Perry Como

It gets lonely in the White House when your cares begin 

and the White House is a big place to be lonely in 

When you're all alone there starin' into space 

and you wish the man you ran against could be there in your place! 

It gets lonely in the White House when you've been attacked 

by the loyal opposition getting in the act 

If you make the wrong decision, when the final chips are down 

the White House is the loneliest place in town! 

It gets lonely in the White House when you're sitting there 

and you have to do your thinkin' in a rockin' chair 

When some exercise would keep you feelin' well 

but a journey to the golf course and the country's gone to hell! 

When the budget isn't balanced and you're in the red 

and you feel it would be better to be dead than red 

When your speech is optimistic but the stocks keep tumblin' down 

the White House is the loneliest place in town!
