Loading...

[announcer, spoken]
now, here are governor rockefeller and his wife at their first press conference since his startling announcement that he would not seek the presidency!

[nelson & mary]
we’re just plain folks
ya+ho+delayee!
we’re just leftover stew and cornbeef hash

[nelson]
i never mention that i have a…
personal tailor

[mary]
or a cute little ranch called…
venezuela

[nelson & mary]
we’re just plain folks
ya+ho+delayee!
with nеver more than fifty bucks in cash!

[mary]
won’t you spread thе word that we are children of the soil?

[nelson]
won’t you tell your neighbor that we’re made of sweat and toil?
[nelson & mary]
with our standard ways and standard means
and standard oil
oh yes, we’re just plain folks

[bridge]

[nelson & mary]
you can’t put ordinary people in the white house!

[mary]
we’d be so out of place with all that fancy stuff
we only need a matisse or two
a jacob epstein piece or two
the simple things of life are quite enough!

[nelson & mary]
you can’t put ordinary people in the white house!

[nelson]
you know the government’s an upper+class affair
why, fdr was simply made of dough
and ike is filthy rich, you know
and truman is a bloomin’ millionaire!

[nelson & mary]
but, no siree, friend
[nelson]
mary toddhunter clark and me, friends…

[nelson & mary]
are just plain folks
ya+ho+delayee!

[nelson, spoken]
we’re rfd

[mary, spoken]
and a&p
and pta

[nelson & mary]
so please feel free to visit our
simple and pretty
place here in town called
radio city

[mary]
like plain jane doe

[nelson]
and charlie cooley
[nelson & mary]
we’re really howard johnson’s all the way!

[mary]
though my petticoats are fashioned of imported brocade

[nelson]
though i know my holdings upset the balance of trade

[nelson & mary]
just remember that we let our stevie…
marry the maid
because we’re just plain folks!
