My son has worked very hard to learn the names of all 44 U.S. Presidents. I promised to put him on mom's web page if he could learn them all. He is 5 and a big ham so that was incentive enough for him to learn this little song.
So I hope you will enjoy this little video and if you would like to learn the names of the Presidents, I've included the words.

It is a beautiful April day in 1789, and the four million citizens of the United States of America are preparing for their very first national holiday. These brand new citizens of a brand new nation are lined up along the great "Post Road" from Mount Vernon to New York, gathered in cheerful, excited groups... winding garlands of flowers on bridges and lampposts, toasting the future, and eagerly waiting to see General George Washington pass by in his carriage on his way to be inaugurated the first president of the United States of America.
Amidst all the cheers and rejoicing, only one figure seems glum and thoughtful, with the whole weight of the world resting on his shoulders... and that is Washington himself. A lot can go through a man's mind as he travels on a date with destiny. Listen to this great story of that first Inaugural Day, as originally presented on The Cavalcade of America, in 1941.
Designed for kids 5-12, these free workshops teach do-it-yourself skills and tool safety, while instilling a sense of accomplishment. Offered on the first Saturday of each month between 9 a.m. and noon* at The Home Depot®.
