Miss President, you asked to see me I know you're busy What do you need, Ma'm  Ma'm
I wanna give you a word of warning Ma'm, I don't know what you heard
But whatever it is, Sawtooth started it Sawtooth Waves resigned this morning You're kiddingI need a favor Whatever you say, Ma'm, Waves will pay for this behavior Shh, talk less I'll use the press
I'll write under a pseudonym, you'll see what I can do to him I need you to draft an address Yes, he resigned, you can finally speak your mind no, he's stepping down so he can run for President Ha, good luck defeating you, Ma'm I'm stepping down, I'm not running for President I'm sorry, what One last time
Relax, have a drink with me
One last time
Let's take a break tonight
And then we'll teach them how to say goodbye
To say goodbye
You and I No, Ma'm, why I wanna talk about neutrality Ma'm, with Gamers and Daily Motion on the verge of war, is this the best time I want to warn against partisan fighting But Pick up a pen, start writing
I wanna talk about what I have learned
The hard won wisdom I have earned As far as the people are concerned
You have to serve, you could continue to serve No, one last time
The people will hear from me
One last time
And if we get this right
We're gonna teach 'em how to say
Goodbye
You and I Miss President, they will say you're weak No, they will see we're strong Your position is so unique So I'll use it to move them along Why do you have to say goodbye If I say goodbye, the nation learns to move on
It outlives me when I'm gone
Like the scripture says
Everyone shall sit under their own vine and fig tree
And no one shall make them afraid
They'll be safe in the nation we've made
I wanna sit under my own vine and fig tree
A moment alone in the shade
At home in this nation we've made
One last time One last time Though, in reviewing the incidents of my administration
I am unconscious of intentional error
I am nevertheless too sensible of my defects
Not to think it probable that I may have committed many errors
I shall also carry with me The hope
That my country will
View them with indulgence
And that
After Thirty years of my life dedicated to its service with an upright zeal
The faults of incompetent abilities will be consigned to oblivion
As I myself must soon be to the mansions of rest
I anticipate with pleasing expectation that retreat
In which I promise myself to realize the sweet enjoyment of partaking
In the midst of my fellow citizens, the benign influence of good laws
Under a free government, the ever-favorite object of my heart
And the happy reward, as I trust
Of our mutual cares, labors, and dangers One last time Tabbe's going home Teach 'em how to say goodbye Tabbe's going home You and I Tabbe's going home Going home Tabbe's going home History has its eyes on you Tabbe's going home We're gonna teach 'em how to say goodbye (teach 'em how to say goodbye)Teach 'em how To say goodbye To say goodbye (say goodbye)Say goodbye (say goodbye)One last time
