-6 7 -6 7 -6 7 -6 6
I've travelled all around the world,
King Edward is a grand old man,
When Russia fought the Japanese,
-5 6 -5(#?) 6 -7 -4
I've sailed on ev'ry sea;
As all the world admits;
We thought they'd never cease.
4 5 -4(#?) 5 -4 5 -4(#?) 5
Met ev'ry King and potentate,
But what chance would King Edward stand
A certain party stopped the war
4 -5 5 -5 -6 7
including old John D.
with Jeffries or with Fitz?
and brought 'em both to peace.
-6 7 -6 7 -6 7 -6 6 -5 6 -5(#?) 6 -7 -4
In ev'ry corner of the Earth they know King Edward's fame,
I know a man can stand off Jeff with upper-cuts and hooks;
When they awarded him a prize for stopping Russia's wars;
-4 6 -5(#?) 6 -6 6 -4 -4' -4 -6 6 -5(#?)6 7
But there's a ruler greater still; no doubt you've heard his name;
He has no use for Lords or Earls, but he can use his "dukes:"
They found him at the White House fighting seven Senators:
(Припев)
-6 7 -6 -5 -6 6 -5(#?) 6 -7 -4
It's Theodore, The peaceful Theodore;
-4 5 -4(#) 5 -4 5 -4(#) 5
Of all the rulers great or small,
King Ed. things Teddy is all right,
The Senate thought he was a joke,
4 -5 5 -5 5 -5 -6 7
He is the greatest of them all.
God save the King if he should fight
He stopped their graft and now they're broke.
-6 7 -6 -5 -6 6 6 -6 -6 -7
He's first in peace, He's first of all in war,
With Theodore, The man the Yanks adore;
On salary, They'll have to live once more;
4 -5 -5 6 -6 -7 -6 6
He's in demand in Yankee land,
He'd lick the King in any ring,
Their wills they've made they're all afraid,
-8 7 -8 7 -8 7 -8 -6 6 -5
Hurray! Hurray! Hurray! for Theodore.
