The war of 1812


OH come back proud Canadians
To before they had TV
No Hockey Night in Canada
There was no CBC
In 1812 Madison was mad
He was the President, you know
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
Things were very historical
and the Americans ran and cried like a bunch of little babies, wah wah wah
in the war of 1812!
Now some hillbillies from Kentucky
dressed in green and red
left home to fight in Canada
but they returned home dead
Its only war the Yankees lost
except for Vietnam
and also the Alamo
and the Bay of... Ham
The loser was America
The winner was ourselves
So sing along and gloat about
The war of 1812
Chorus:
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, wah wah wah
in the war of 1812!
