It looks like revolution
Sick of England, they’ve got to go
We need a leader that’s sec-ond to none
Washington’s the one you want in control
Just look at his leadership in Boston
As Continental commander
British troops have left Boston
Headed south to Long Island
Meeting thirty-two thousands reinforcements
Continentals in a jam
Better sneak out of Brooklyn
Major loss for Washington and patriots
Now the Brits have brought in Hessians
Mercenaries soldiers
Washington ain’t scared
He’ll cross the Delaware into Trenton
Surprise attack, catch them, unprepared
This couldn’t come at a better time
‘Cause things were looking pretty grim
The next year has highs and lows
Philadelphia it goes
To the British, Washington chose Valley Forge
To endure winter with-his men
Lafayette and von Steuben
Coming over to train them and help George
Congress can I get, Congress can I get,
Get some help
Congress can I get, Congress can I get
Get some help
After Saratoga, France comes on
Army’s still broke though
And needs reenlistments
British forces move South, take Charleston
Settle in Virginia with Cornwallis
Washington and the French Rochambeau
See a chance for victory
French naval ships will surround
Chesapeake and will shut down
British ships, and at Yorktown, George Washington
Will lead his army in a siege
Yorktown is the victory
To make England finally give us our freedom
Treaty of Pa-ris is signed
Though he’s seen as half divine
Washington will resign, now the war’s done
Says farewell to public life
To Mount Vernon with his wife
The new country waves goodbye to Washington
