"Welterusten, meneer de president" (Sleep well, Mr. President) is a Dylanesque song from 1966, sung by Boudewijn de Groot. Like most of his other songs, it was written with songwriter Lennaert Nijgh. The music was composed by Boudewijn de Groot himself. The song is a protest against the war in Vietnam and the US president of the time, Lyndon B. Johnson and solidified De Groot as a protest singer.
The song consists of six parts and contains much sarcasm.
