lyrics:
he didn’t expect to be the president so soon

he was the tenth one, our first accidental ruler

he had fifteen kids

and his grandson still lives in that same house his grandfather did



john tyler married letitia and they had eight kids

five daughters and three sons before he was president

the family moved to the white house, and mom got sick

she passed away and he didn’t wait

to shack up with someone else



he didn’t expect to fall back in love so soon

when he met her, the new girl was twenty two

he had fifteen kids

and his grandson still lives in that same house his grandfather did



the president married julia, a woman of privilege

they had two more girls and five more boys

right up until the very end of his life

there was david, john, julia, Lachlan,

lyon and robert and pearl



he didn’t expect to be the president so soon

when he left us his family tree had set down roots

he had fifteen kids

and his grandson still lives in the same house his grandfather did

just let that sink in:

and his grandson still lives in the same house his grandfather did
