For this great man jubilation, was evinced by the entire
population
Friendship for the u.s.a. was shown and from his house to stars
and the stripes were flown
For the state to open the gate to the president of these united
states
In fact everybody was glad to welcome roosevelt to trinidad

We are privileged to see the democratic president of the great
republic
With his charming and genial personality and his wonderful
urbanity
We were struck by his modest style and we were intrigued by the
famous roosevelt smile
No wonder why everybody was glad to welcome roosevelt to
trinidad

Now we understand that the president has just been on a visit to
brazil and the argentine
Mr. cordell hull in attendance they took part in a peace
conference
To stop war and atrocity and make the world safe for democracy
The greatest event in the century in the interest of suffering
humanity
