No One Tells the President
Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's a job that's caught my eye.
I know I'd enjoy being President
And here's the reason why.
No one tells the President how to dress.
No one bugs him if his oval office is a mess.
No one tells him when it's time to mow the White House lawn.
No one tells the President not to slouch.
No one says, "Don't put you feet on Mr. Lincoln's couch."
No one tells him "Company's here. Use your fork and spoon"
Unless they want to be the next Ambassador to the moon.
Chorus
No one tells the President,
No one tells the President,
No one tells the President what to do.
No one tells the President not to run.
No one says, "There's no dessert until that speech is done"
No one says, "The Press is coming. Clean behind your ears"
Unless they want to have a "time out" for the next four years.
Chorus
She'll change all the rules.
The kids'll run the schools
She'll be on the side of girls and boys.
She'll fix all the laws.
She'll be like Santa Claus
And her cabinets will overflow with toys.
No one tells the President how to speak.
(Parent: Ashley!)
No one says "You can't be on TV for one whole week."
(Parent: Time to eat!)
So when I've had enough of "Time to eat" and "Where've you been"
I'm headin' down to Washington to get myself sworn in.
'Cause no one tells the President
(Parent: Mary-Kate!)
No one tells the President,
(Come on!)
No one tells the President what to do.
(Time to wash up)
No one tells the President,
No one tells the President,
No one tells the President what to do.
(I'm gonna count to three.)
No one tells the President,
(One...)
No one tells the President,
(Two...)
No one tells the President what to do.
(Two and a half...)
No one tells the President,
(Girls!)
No one tells the President,
(I mean that!)
No one tells the President what to do.
(Now!)
Coming! See you on Election Day.
The song "No One Tells the President What to Do" by Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen is a fun and playful song that presents the idea of becoming the President and all of the power, freedom and perks that come with the role. The song starts with the lyrics "Someday I'd like to be President, It's a job that's caught my eye, I know I'd enjoy being President, And here's the reason why." From there, the song lists all of the things a President can do without anyone telling them what to do. The President has the freedom to dress however they want, keep their office messy, put their feet on furniture, and choose when and how to mow the White House lawn. The song also suggests that the President can speak freely, be on TV whenever they want, and eat whatever they want without anyone telling them what to do.
However, as the song progresses, it reveals that becoming President is not just about the freedom and perks. The song suggests that if you become a President, you can change laws, make new rules, and fix things that need fixing. The song ends on a playful note, with the Olsen twins counting down to when they are going to become President and take charge.
Overall, the song is a fun and lighthearted take on the idea of becoming the President. It presents the idea of being the President as a desirable role with many benefits, including freedom, power, and control.
