This song is from two different point of views. The first is from the POV of a poor immigrant who came to New York in the early 1920s and became a bootlegger during prohibition. The second is from the POV of Warren G. Harding who was president of the United States between 1921 to 1923. The story contrasts the rise of the poor immigrant with the decline and death of Warren G. Harding who died of complications from pneumonia shortly after his visit to Alaska.
