What is a way to remember the order of the presidents?

I learned this one in 5th grade. Sing them along to the tune of Yankee Doodle:

Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Adams, Jackson, Van Buren, Harrison, Tyler, Polk, Taylor, Fillmore, Pierce

Buchanan, Lincoln, Johnson, Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, Cleveland, Harrison, Cleveland, McKinley, Roosevelt, Taft, Wilson

Harding, Coolidge, Hoover, Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton

Bush... Obama...

(It would be great to have the verses marked.)

There are repeated letters that start their names,

suggesting mnemonics which might help you to associate the sequence:

WAJ MMAJ Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, the other Adams (John Quincy) and Jackson

VH (very hard to remember) Van Buren, William H. Harrison,

TP TFP Tyler, Polk, Taylor, Fillmore, Pierce

BAJ -Buchanan, (Abe) Lincoln, Johnson

GoHome GA CHiC (postwar)- Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, Cleveland, Benjamin Harrison, Cleveland again,

MR T - McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, Taft

WHiCH RTE (two wars) - Wilson, Harding, Coolidge, Hoover, Franklin Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower,

KJ Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson

NFC RB CB Offsides

- Nixon, Ford, Clinton, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, GW Bush, Obama
