A presidential campaign song of 1950.
Words and music by Irving Berlin.
The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
I like Ike
I’ll shout it over a mike
Or a phone
Or from the highest steeple
I like Ike
And Ike is easy to like
Stands alone
The choice of We the People
A leader we can call
Without political noise
He can lead us all
As he led the boys
Let’s take Ike
A man we all of us like
Tried and true
Courageous, strong and human
Why even Harry Truman
Says “I like Ike”
