Hail to the Chief we have chosen for the nation,
Hail to the Chief! We salute him, one and all.

In proud fulfillment of a great, noble call.
Yours is the aim to make this grand country grander,
This you will do, that is our strong, firm belief.
Hail to the one we selected as commander,
Hail to the President! Hail to the Chief!
