lyrics

Midwestern girl of privilege was, Mamie Eisenhower
Wore pretty clothes with little gloves, Mamie Eisenhower
Sent to Wolcott's Finishing School, Mamie Eisenhower
Attended church, played by the rules, Mamie
Her father packed Meat
Her sisters were sweet
The family Doud
Were mighty proud, Mamie

Married that Kansas boy Dwight, Mamie Eisenhower
Called him Ike, seemed just right, Mamie Eisenhower
They hitched up after she left school, Mamie Eisenhower
Showed she was nobody's fool, Mamie
Climbed up the ladder with her man, Mamie Eisenhower
First lady of our glorious land, Mamie
She became FLOTUS
He became POTUS
A vote for Ike
What's not to like
She became FLOTUS
Mamie
