Oh, trumpeter, trumpeter, blow your golden horn!
Oh, trumpeter, trumpeter, blow your golden horn!
A White House baby will very soon be born!
A White House baby will very soon be born!
Blow your horn!

There's something glorious happening today
For all the citizens of the U.S.A.
A White House baby will very soon be born!
Oh, trumpeter, blow your horn
Oh, trumpeter, blow your horn
Oh, trumpeter, blow your horn
Your golden horn, your golden horn!
[DOCTOR ENTERS]
Oh, doctor, doctor, what's the news, we pray?
We've waited for your bulletin all day.

The baby of the President and Frau
Will be here almost any moment now.

With a hey-nonny-nonny and a ha-cha-cha!

ALL:
Oh, doctor, here is the one thing we must know-
We're all of us anxious and we've got to know:
The baby, is it to be a girl or boy?
A baby girl or boy?
A nation's pride and joy!
We must know whether it's a girl or boy,
A girl or boy!

For all matters of the sort

All the sailors in the Navy
In these great United States,

Nor the captains nor the mates.
They refuse to jib their anchors,
Strike a boom, or heave a sail,
Till you've satisfied their hanker:
Is it female or a male?

For baby boy or girl they are keen,
But they want nothing in between.

For all cases of the sort
Are decided by the judges

You have got that certain thing, baby!
Shining star and inspiration,
Worthy of a mighty nation-
Of thee I sing!
