Lyrics
0:01Mr President you asked to see me
0:04I know you're busy
0:06What do you need Sir Sir
0:09I wanna give you a word of warning
0:12Sir I don't know what you heard
0:13But whatever it is Jefferson started it
0:17Thomas Jefferson resigned this morning
0:21You're kidding
0:22I need a favor
0:24Whatever you say Sir
0:25Jefferson will pay for his behavior
0:27Shh talk less
0:29I'll use the press
0:30I'll write under a pseudonym
0:31You'll see what I can do to him
0:33I need you to draft an address
0:35Yes he resigned you can finally speak your mind
0:38No he's stepping down so he can run for President
0:41Ha good luck defeating you Sir
0:44I'm stepping down I'm not running for President
0:48I'm sorry what
0:49One last time
0:52Relax have a drink with me
0:54One last time
0:57Let's take a break tonight
0:59And then we'll teach them how to say goodbye
1:02To say goodbye
1:03You and I
1:08No Sir why
1:10I wanna talk about neutrality
1:12Sir with britain and france on the verge of war
1:15Is this the best time
1:16I want to warn against partisan fighting
1:18But
1:18Pick up a pen start writing
1:20I wanna talk about what I have learned
1:23The hard-won wisdom I have earned
1:26As far as the people are concerned
1:28You have to serve you could continue to serve
1:31No one last time
1:36The people will hear from me
1:37One last time
1:40And if we get this right
1:42We're gonna teach 'em how to say
1:44Goodbye
1:46You and I
1:53Mr President they will say you're weak
1:56No they will see we're strong
1:59Your position is so unique
2:01So I'll use it to move them along
2:04Why do you have to say goodbye
2:06If I say goodbye the nation learns to move on
2:11It outlives me when I'm gone
2:15Like the scripture says
2:17Everyone shall sit under their own vine and fig tree
2:22And no one shall make them afraid
2:25They'll be safe in the nation we've made
2:30I wanna sit under my own vine and fig tree
2:35A moment alone in the shade
2:38At home in this nation we've made
2:43One last time
2:46One last time
2:55Though in reviewing the incidents of my administration
2:58I am unconscious of intentional error
3:00I am nevertheless too sensible of my defects
3:03Not to think it probable that
3:05I may have committed many errors
3:08I shall also carry with me
3:10The hope
3:10That my country will
3:11View them with indulgence
3:14And that
3:14After forty-five years of my life dedicated to
3:18It's service with an upright zeal
3:20The faults of incompetent abilities will be
3:22Consigned to oblivion as
3:25I myself must soon be to the mansions of rest
3:31I anticipate with pleasing
3:33Expectation that retreat in which I
3:35Promise myself to realize
3:37The sweet enjoyment of partaking
3:40In the midst of my fellow-citizens
3:43The benign influence of good laws
3:46Under a free government the ever-favorite
3:49Object of my heart and the happy reward
3:53As I trust
3:55Of our mutual cares labors and dangers
4:04One last time
4:07George Washington's going home
4:10Teach 'em how to say goodbye
4:12George Washington's going home
4:15You and I
4:18George Washington's going home
4:21Going home
4:23George Washington's going home
4:26History has its eyes on you
4:30George Washington's going home
4:33We're gonna teach 'em how to
4:34Say goodbye teach 'em how to say goodbye
4:36Teach 'em how to say goodbye
4:38Say goodbye say goodbye
4:40To say goodbye say goodbye
4:41One last time one last time
