A boy chopped down a cherry tree Many years gone by He bravely said, I did it sir, I cannot tell a lie His father knew right there and then He'd be a man of fame The president on the dollar George Washington's his name
[Chorus:] The president on the dollar The yankee doodle dollar The president on the dollar George Washington's his name
The Revolutionary War Was won by General George And his starving band of ragged men Who fought at Valley Forge
The father of the usa Is what he soon became The president on the dollar George Washington's his name
[Chorus:] The president on the dollar The yankee doodle dollar The president on the dollar George Washington's his name
One day he said to Betsy Ross A flag is what we need A symbol of our freedom For everyone to read
With stars and stripes and liberty He set the world aflame The president on the dollar George Washington's his name
[Chorus:] The president on the dollar The yankee doodle dollar The president on the dollar George Washington's his name
The Continental Congress said Now wouldn't it be grand To have him be the President The first one in the land
The voting was unanimous And that's how he became The president on the dollar George Washington's his name
[Chorus:] The president on the dollar The yankee doodle dollar The president on the dollar George Washington's his name
