His friends, they called him "Ruddy"
But he got his hands all muddy
When he stole the election from Tilden
And we almost had Civil War 2 instead of nation buildin'
But
Ruddy Hayes
You weren't so bad
You were the best President from Ohio that we had
Now I realize that's not sayin' a lot
But sometimes you've got to work with what you've got
He promised to serve only one term
Healing the nation's epiderm
He didn't drink booze, he had a big beard
And his relationship with his sister was kinda weird
But Ruddy Hayes
You weren't so bad
You were the best President from Ohio that we had
Now I realize that's not sayin' a lot
But sometimes you've got to work with what you've got
He had progressive views on race
As an ex-president he was not a waste of space
He helped the disadvantaged, what do you think of that?
If he were here today he'd be a Democrat
But Ruddy Hayes
You weren't so bad
You were the best President from Ohio that we had
Now I realize that's not sayin' a lot
But sometimes you've got to work with what you've got
