[Verse 1]
Oh, Teddy, please don't make me go up that hill
Rough Rider like to get himself killed
Now it sure don't look like a vacation spot
We all got malaria, the weather's too hot
All got malaria, the weather's too hot

[Chorus]
The White House is calling
I'm sure we're gonna charge today
Yeah, looking good on my resume

[Verse 2]
Oh, Mister Hoover, I come to collect my dough
The kids are starving, and the bank foreclosed
I would sell my purple heart if I got a good offer
The steel saber rattle of Douglas MacArthur
The steel saber rattle of Douglas MacArthur

[Chorus]
The White House is calling
I'm sure we're gonna charge today
Yeah, looking good on my resume
Hey!

[Bridge]
Shh!
Good on my resume
Resume
[Verse 3]
Now union man come up here to organize
Make the rich man hear my cry
Mr. Getty and Carnegie and Vanderbilt
If I talk too much, my blood'll get spilt
(If I talk too much, my blood'll get spilt)

[Chorus]
The White House is calling
I'm sure we're gonna charge today
Yeah, yeah
Looking good on my resume
Looking good on my resume

[Outro]
Oh yeah, I am
So good on my resume
Oh no, no, no, no, now
Write it down, write it down, write it down on my resume
I am
