This is a song based upon a claim some make that Edith Wilson, second wife of 28th President Woodrow Wilson (1913-1921), was technically the first female president. Edith unofficially acted in the presidential role after Wilson suffered the last of some six strokes, of which the incumbent was prone....
[Intro]
She did her best
Edith was the president, more or less
More or less
[Chorus]
Woodrow Wilson had a stroke
Edith Wilson took control
Woodrow Wilson had a stroke
Edith Wilson took control
Woodrow Wilson had a stroke
Edith Wilson took control
[Verse 1]
The President was paralyzed
No feeling on the left side
Woodrow and Edith hid upstairs
The conspiracy bought the truth
Doctors lied, rumors grew
What's really going on up there?
[Chorus]
Woodrow Wilson had a stroke
Edith Wilson took control
Woodrow Wilson had a stroke
Edith Wilson took control
Woodrow Wilson had a stroke
Edith Wilson took control
[Verse 2]
His wife called all the shots now
Keep everybody else out!
The President just needed rest
She made decisions he woulda' made
From his bedside everyday
She learned how to sign his name
[Chorus]
Woodrow Wilson had a stroke
Edith Wilson took control
Woodrow Wilson had a stroke
Edith Wilson took control
Woodrow Wilson had a stroke
Edith Wilson took control
[Outro]
Woodrow Wilson had a stroke (She did her best)
Edith Wilson took control
Woodrow Wilson had a stroke (Edith was the president)
Edith Wilson took control
Woodrow Wilson had a stroke (more or less)
Edith Wilson took control (more or less)
Woodrow Wilson had a stroke (She did her best)
Edith Wilson took control
Woodrow Wilson had a stroke (Edith was the president)
Edith Wilson took control
Woodrow Wilson had a stroke (more or less)
Edith Wilson took control (more or less)
Woodrow Wilson had a stroke (She did her best)
Edith Wilson took control
Woodrow Wilson had a stroke (Edith was the president)
Edith Wilson took control
Woodrow Wilson had a stroke (more or less)
Edith Wilson took control (more or less)
Woodrow Wilson had a stroke (She did her best)
Edith Wilson took control
Woodrow Wilson had a stroke (Edith was the president)
Edith Wilson took control
Woodrow Wilson had a stroke (more or less)
Edith Wilson took control (more or less)
