Air: Climbing up the Golden Stairs

It's not quite four years ago, boys, since Cleveland made a blow, boys,
"When climbing up the White House steps,
He was to make things warm there, with his notions of reform there,
When climbing up the White House steps;
Civil service was his talk there, but proved it was a mock there,
After climbing up the White House steps.
Though blunders he's made many, he doesn't care a pennny,
Since climbing up the White House Steps.

Chorus:

But hear how the people are shouting,
'Tis true I do declare,
Soon Mr. Cleveland they'll be routing
From climbing up the White House steps.

He's gone and did and done it, since he the White House run it,
Through climbing up the White House steps,
That message he delivered, the people have diahiver''d,
Through his climbing up the White House steps,
That he's a masquerader, and an out and out free-trader
Since climbing up the White House steps,
And his party does not adore him, so much that they encore him
To climb again the White House steps.
But hear how the people, &c.

Now we've made the gauge of battle and will shortly make things rattle,
In the contest for the White House steps;
As Republicans we're righted, and hand in hand united,
For climbing up the White House steps.
We'll knock free trade asunder, with our protection thunder,
And capture will the White House steps.
On the right track we are steering, and all around looks cheering,
For climbing uy the White Houso steps.
O hear how the people, &c.

Then rally all your forces, together let's hitch horses,
For climbinq up the White House steps,
On the sixth day of November, now voters all remember,
Prepare to win the White House steps.
They'll think a cyclone struck 'em, or a mighty earthquake shook 'em,
When we capture the White House steps:
They everywhere are quaking, and in their boots are shaking,
Fearing they will lose the White House steps.
O hear the people, &c.
