Underneath the frozen earth at Hyde park today
A great man had a birthday
And the little path that leads down to his grave was narrow and cold
On earth this man walked a path that was wide and warm
Whole Nations were lined up on either side and they felt the warmth
And so did lots of us little people
I for one, thought the world of this man
I think he was a magnificent human being
I suppose he had his share of human weakness, but
He sure had more than his share of human strength
What I admired most about him
Was the way he had of making every American feel welcome here
Yes, it's his birthday today
And I only wish he could be with us tonight
To kinda ask you to chip in to the march of dimes, his own personal cause
But then I know you'll get in there and pitch anyway
Because when it comes to protecting a little tot from infantile paralysis, the great crippler
You probably feel as strongly as FDR did
So neighbors I wonder if you wouldn't mind so much tonight if we sing Mr. Roosevelt's favorite song
Axel?
Oh, give me a home
Where the buffalo roam
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day
Home, home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day
Oh, give me a land
Where the bright diamond sand
Flows leisurely down the stream
Where the graceful white swan goes gliding along
Like a maid in a heavenly dream
Then I would not exchange my home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
