A banjo pal asked me if I knew a Stan Freeberg song with the unlikely title, "Abe Snake for President". I told her that I did not but that someone on Mudcat would be sure to know it. Don't make me a liar. Thanks,

Available here for $5, if no one comes thru.

BTW, that is a Tripod site, so you'll get pop-ups.

An article from Time Magazine, Mar. 31, 1952 has a quote:

I'll re-re-do the White House in a flowered calico.
The furniture can stay, boy, but the piano's gotta go.
If I don't make much salary, I'm not afraid of that,
'Cause if I get elected, well, there's other ways to skin a cat.
