George Washington

He generaled all our US forces

Long before the US of A.

We gave him scanty, new resources,

So he shivered through many a day.

Then at last a heroe's welcome

We gave him when his troops obeyed.

We played our flutes and hit our drums

Because his army won the fray.

And then we offered a kingly crown

To set him up with a princely reign.

But good old Washington turned it down.

So on this day when we celebrate

All the presidents who served us well,

We mustn’t forget the first of the greats,

For his integrity, Washington excells.
