In Yorba Linda, on January 9, 1913
Arrived Richard Nixon, the cutest thing you've ever seen
He attended Whittier College and Duke University
In '37, passed the bar, became an attorney
He practiced law in Whittier, and near there, in a play
Met Pat, fell in love, and in '40, would wed, then they
Had two children, both girls, Tricia and Julie
But, before they were born, Richard and Pat moved to DC

Richard Milhous Nixon, 36 came before
His indelible place in history, '69 to '74

In '42, Richard enlisted in the US Navy
In '47, ran and won US rep easily
In '50, Senator, then chosen Eisenhower's VP
Ran for Prez in '60, lost, in '68, victory
Richard went to China, met Mao and through détente, made peace
Did the same with the Soviet Union, brought trade between countries
Brought an end to America's fight in the Vietnam War
And spoke by phone to the astronauts on the moon, like never before

Richard Milhous Nixon, 36 came before
His indelible place in history, '69 to '74

He was re-elected by a landslide in 1972
But soon, the Watergate scandal started coming into view
He was blamed in the cover-up, so Congress planned to impeach
But he resigned and was pardoned by Ford after his last speech
Richard went home, wrote his memoirs, improved his rapport
But a stroke took him on April 22nd of '94
His legacy was turning Russia and China into friends
But, the shadow of Watergate followed him well past his end
