|
Waitin' waitin' for the redcoats to come
|
But all I hear in my frozen ears is ten thousand drums
|
Ten thousand drums
|
Johnny Johnny don't be afraid
|
We can whip those redcoats settin' in the shade
|
Settin' in the shade
|
We've got the best of all the rest of Genereal Washington
|
And when we meet those redcoats watch them redcoats run
|
Goin' down their drum goin' down their drum
|
Listen listen Johnny better get your gun
|
Cause there ain't puttin' soldiers behind ten thousand drums
|
Behind ten thousand drums
|
Runnin' runnin' Johnny watch them run
|
We finally whip those redcoats finally stop those drums
|
We stop ten thousand drums
|
We're the best of all the rest such Yankee son of a gun
|
We can tell our mommies how we made them run goin' down thir drum
|
Goin' down their drum goin' down their drum
|
Ten thousand drums ten thousand drums
|
