Come back proud Canadian's,
|
To before you had TV.
|
No hockey night in Canada,
|
there was no CBC.
|
|
In 1812 Madison was mad,
|
He was the president you know.
|
Well he thought he'd tell the British where they ought to go.
|
He thought he'd invade Canada,
|
He thought that he was tough.
|
Instead we went to Washington,
|
And burned down all his stuff.
|
|
And the white house burned, burned, burned.
|
And we're the ones that did it,
|
It burned, burned, burned.
|
While the president ran and cried,
|
It burned, burned, burned.
|
And things were very historical,
|
And the Americans ran and cried like a bunch of little babies WaWaWa
|
In the war of 1812.
|
|
Those hilbilies from Kentucky,
|
Dressed in green and red.
|
Left home to fight in Canada,
|
But they returned home dead.
|
It's the only war the yankies lost except for Vietnam.
|
And also the alomo and the bay of ham.
|
The loser was America,
|
The winner was ourselves.
|
So join right in and gloat about the war of 1812.
|
|
And the white house burned, burned, burned.
|
And we're the ones that did it,
|
It burned, burned, burned.
|
While the president ran and cried,
|
It burned, burned, burned.
|
And things were very historical,
|
And the Americans ran and cried like a bunch of little babies WaWaWa
|
In the war of 1812.
|
|
In 1812 we were just sitting around,
|
Minding our own business,
|
Putting crops into the ground.
|
We heard the soldiers coming,
|
And we didn't like that sound.
|
So we took a boat to Washington and burned it to the ground.
|
|
Oh we fired our guns but the yankies kept a coming,
|
There wasn't quite as many as there was a while ago.
|
We fired once more and the yankies started running,
|
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.
|
They ran through the snow,
|
And they ran through the forest,
|
They ran through the bushes where the beavers wouldn't go,
|
They ran so fast they forgot to take they're culture,
|
Back to America, and gulf and Mexico.
|
|
So if you go to Washington,
|
It's building clean and nice,
|
Bring a pack of matches,
|
And we'll burn the white house twice.
|
|
And the white house burned, burned, burned,
|
But the Americans won't admit it.
|
It burned, burned, burned...
|
It burned and burned and burned
|
It burned, burned, burned
|
I bet that made them mad.
|
And the Americans ran and cried like a bunch of little babies WaWaWa
|
In the war of 1812.
