Johnson settles in to his new job, relishing the power he has always dreamed of, as he recounts his numerous adventures in power and infidelity, all while sitting on his enormous monogrammed toilet.
LYRICS​
The curtains part to reveal LBJ sitting on a HUGE toilet, with a golden toilet paper dispenser next to him on one side, and a typewriter on a table to the other. Begins with him alone.
LBJ
I’m president!
Finally president!
In my element
It’s almost a surprise
All these amenities!
Left by Kennedys (uses a juicer)
While all my enemies are
Gone before my eyes
Now what is there to do
But take a moment to
Appreciate the view
From Pennsylvania Ave
In this room so sacred
I can sit here naked
What a kick ass job I have!!!
CHORUS
Cause I’m on the throne (he’s on the throne)
I’m on the throne
Don’t have to be
That lame VP
Oh now I’m home.
The wing I live in is the West
I can take a dump on the Resolute desk,
While I’ve got Leonard Brezhnev on the phone!
(Spoken into the phone: “Nyet!”)
I’m finally sitting on the throne.
Let’s help the working class
(Swatting away a well-meaning aide) I’ll wipe my own damn ass!
Let’s get that tax bill passed.
Cause there’s no time to nap (kicks a tired aide)
I’ve got a plan which I
Wrote down on this 2-ply
Let’s see the Chinese try
And figure out this crap.
I thought of Medicare
Right here in my underwear
I shake my derriere and 5 assistants bring
The daily briefing to me
I read it while I pee
I’m telling you it’s good to be the king!
CHORUS
Cause I’m on the throne
(he’s on the throne)
I’m on the throne
Don’t have to be
That lame VP
Oh now I’m home.
I can take a long walk through the Rose Garden
Give myself a president’s pardon
While The queen of England’s on the phone!
(Spoken into the phone: “Cheerio!”)
I’m finally sitting on the throne.
BRIDGE
Have...I...showed...you
Jumbo yet?
It’s something you won’t forget
And if you think I’m touching it while I walk these halls,
You bet!
And even when I’m wiping
The executive booty
I’m always performing my presidential
Duty!!!!
Be...cause I’m president
Your ever lovin' President
Now I know what my daddy meant
When he said I could be
Something he never was
It’s amazing what passion does
I made it this far because
I could see
How every moral line’s
meant to be broken sometimes
And a little turpentine
Can make things clean
Now I can really control
The planet from this bowl
I’m telling you the world is my latrine!
CHORUS
AIDES & LACKIES
Cause he’s on the throne
(I’m on the throne)
He’s on the throne
(Still on the throne!)
Doesn’t have to be
Some lame VP
Oh now he’s home.
He can sign a bill for housing and roads
LBJ
Then wipe my ass with the nuclear codes!
AIDES & LACKIES
While Charles de Gaulle is holding on the phone!
LBJ
(Spoken into the phone)
“Vous et Merde!”
I’m finally sitting
AIDES & LACKIES
We’re here to do his bidding
LBJ
I govern while I’m shitting!
AIDES & LACKIES
He’s finally
sitting
on
the
throne!!!!!!!!
