LYRICS
作曲 : Oscar Brand/John L. Turner IV
I heard a young man speaking out just the other day
I stopped just to listen to what he had to say
He spoke straight and simple-by that I was impressed
He said, "Once and for all, why not the best?"
He said his name was Jimmy Carter
and he was running for President
And he laid out a plan of action made a lot of sense
He talked about the government
and how it used to be
for you and me
That's the way it ought to be, right now
Once and for all, why not the best
He spoke plain and simple
and I began to understand
I was listening to quite a man, talking to me
I began to see
We need Jimmy Carter
Why settle for less
America
Once and for all, why not the best
We need Jimmy Carter
We can't afford to settle for less
America
Once and for all, why not the best
Why not the best
Why not the best
