Here it is, another election year
And candidates are coming from everywhere
The long, tall Texan, wise as owl
Says, boys, I'm a-throwin' in a towel
Y'all *** it, run under a log with it
He's goin' back to the Lone Star State
We're gonna clean the slate in 68
LBJ says, I ain't gonna run
I'm a-goin' back to Texas and have a little fun
I'm tired of everybody puttin' me down
I'm a-goin' back home and play with my hounds
Goin' to the dogs
All these birds is migratin'
The election's comin', I can't wait
We're gonna clean the slate in 68
Hubert says, I'm your man
This here, here is the promised land
They'll promise you this, promise you that
When they get in, they'll leave you flat
Won't even know you
Have to march
To get what you want
I think everybody's had a bet
We're gonna clean the slate in 68
Richard, he's runnin' again
He's been runnin' since time began
Same old line, just a different twist
Some of the polls say he just can't miss
Got plenty of experience
Old Trekkie did
If you're servin' bologna, I just ate
We're gonna clean the slate in 68
Bushy-headed Bobby says, listen here, friends
I'm the man you oughta get in
I'll cut taxes and spend it everywhere
If you elect me, I'll even cut my hair
Better not cut your hair, son
You'll lose your strength
We want a man that'll tell it to us straight
We're gonna clean the slate in 68
There's old Rocky up in New York City
Says he's runnin' for me like a striped kitty
But when you get to know me, I ain't so bad
I'll give you things you ain't never had
Let's change the name of Capitol Hill
We'll call it old Rocky Talk
We want action and not debate
We're gonna clean the slate in 68
Good old George down in Alabama
Says let's move the White House to Birmingham
I like my grits and fatback meat
And besides, I'm scared to walk the streets in Washington
They don't like me up there no more
I don't know how
The rioters and looters at the White House gate
We're gonna clean the slate in 68
Clean them all off, friends
Vote for Jim Nesbit, my president
I sure will crochet your vote
Get me in there and I'll let everybody hold something
You too
