That makes a ton.

Ya got a lot!
George Washing-ton!

I'd say Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln we can sing about. That whole Louisiana Purchase thing turned out to be a pretty good deal all around... lol... as did the end of slavery and the launching of a nation.

Otherwise, mum's the word.
I agree. But I don't remember ever singing about a particular president in school. However, the one you've quoted about Washington isn't exactly singing his praises like the Obama one.
