It gets lonely in the white house when your cares begin 
and the White House is a big place to be lonely in 
When you're all alone there starin' into space 
and you wish the man you ran against could be there in your place! 

It gets lonely in the White House when you've been attacked 
by the loyal opposition getting in the act 
If you make the wrong decision, when the final chips are down 
the White House is the loneliest place in town! 

It gets lonely in the White House when you're sitting there 
and you have to do your thinkin' in a rockin' chair 
When some exercise would keep you feelin' well 
but a journey to the golf course and the country's gone to hell! 

When the budget isn't balanced and you're in the red 
and you feel it would be better to be dead than red 
When your speech is optimistic but the stocks keep tumblin' down 
the White House is the loneliest place in town!
