LYRICS
 

​

LBJ

Sir! President Roosevelt
There’s never been anyone alive who’s felt
More of the appeal of your New Deal
‘Cause to many a man, a raw one’s dealt

​

FDR

Go on

​​

LBJ begins to push FDR in his wheelchair

​

LBJ

So if you need a fighter till the fighting’s done
I’m a party backing, court packing son of a gun
A liberal lion who won’t stop trying
To win every battle, till the war is won.

 

FDR

Mr. Johnson is it? I appreciate your visit
How you’ve jumped in the ring
And your willingness to kiss it.
But you lack any revenue Backing or name
Come back in a year or two
When you’re old enough to play the game

​

LBJ (spoken)

Fine! I’ll be back!

​

LBJ lets go of the wheelchair with a little push, sending it across the stage. He exits. FDR just looks at the audience as he rolls across, miffed.

 

LADY BIRD (spoken)

Now what’re you gonna do?

​

LBJ

I don't have a clue.
