One Last Time
Mr. President, you asked to see me?
I know you're busy
What do you need, sir?
Sir?
I wanna give you a word of warning
Sir, I don't know what you heard
But whatever it is, Jefferson started it
Thomas Jefferson resigned this morning
You're kidding
I need a favor
Whatever you say, sir
Jefferson 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, sir
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 'em how to say goodbye
To say goodbye
You and I
No, Sir, why?
I want to talk about neutrality
Sir, with Britain and France 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
Mr. 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 want to 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 45 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 (George Washington's going home)
Teach 'em how to say goodbye (George Washington's going home)
You and I (George Washington's going home!)
Going home (George Washington's going home!)
History has its eyes on you, you, you, yeah (George Washington's going home!)
We're gonna teach them how to
Say goodbye! (teach them how to say goodbye!)
Teach them how to say goodbye! (teach them how)
To say goodbye! (Say goodbye!)
Say goodbye! (Say goodbye!)
One last time! (One last time!)
