 He
was born in New York City
Back in 1858.
He was a sickly child
But he grew up to be great.
|
 He
became a great assemblyman
At the age of twenty-three.
He went to work to clean up things
Down there in Albany.

 Oh dear Teddy,
Our favorite President.
It’s really quite a story
All the places that you went
|
 He lead his
men up San Juan Hill
In the Spanish – American War.
The Spanish saw him coming
And the ran right out the door.
|
 He was a
great outdoorsman
He loved hiking so you see
When he was the Vice – President
He climbed up Mt. Marcy
|
 Oh dear Teddy
Our favorite President.
It’s really quite a story
All the places that you went.
|
 While climbing
up the mountain top
He took some news with dread.
He found he would be President
For McKinley soon was dead.
|
 In nineteen –
one he went to work
To protect our wild lands.
By forming several National Parks
Our world was in good hands.
|
 Oh dear Teddy
Our favorite President.
It’s really quite a story
All the places that you went.
