Lyrics
He was the first President born an American citizen His ancestors came from the Netherlands Martin Van Buren He took the traditional path to some fame and power in law and politics in New York Started the Democratic and Free Soil parties When the Whigs took over they kicked him out The Fox of Kinderhook Played things by the book Opportunities he took And yes he had the look Became President easily Thanks to Jackson's popularity Inherited the Panic of 1837 Held middle ground on slavery Refused to annex Texas Did his best to avoid war Not for long The Fox of Kinderhook Played things by the book Opportunities he took And yes he had the look credits
