Intro
D
Oh, come back, proud Canadians
To before you had TV,
GNo hockey night in Canada,
D AThere was no CBC (Oh, my God!).
D
In 1812, Madison was mad,
He was the president, you know
G D AWell, he thought he'd tell the British where they ought to go
DHe thought he'd invade Canada,
He thought that he was tough
GInstead we went to Washington....
D A DAnd burned down all his stuff!
ChorusG
And the White House burned, burned, burned,
D AAnd we're the one's that did it!
It burned, burned, burned,
D AWhile the president ran and cried.
GIt burned, burned, burned,
And things were very historical.
AAnd the Americans ran and cried like a bunch of little babies
Waa waa waah!
G A DIn the War of 1812!
Verse:
D
Now some hillbillies from Kentucky,
Dressed in green and red,
GLeft home to fight in Canada,
D ABut they returned home dead
It's the only war the Yankees lost, except for Vietnam
G D AAnd also the Alamo... and the Bay of... ham.
DThe loser was America,
The winner was ourselves,
G D A DSo join right in and gloat about the War of 1812
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
In 1812, we were just sittin' around,
DMindin' our own business, puttin' crops into the ground.
AWe 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 Yankees kept-a coming,
D AThere wasn't quite as many as there was a while ago.
D AWe fired once more and the Yankees started running,
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico, oh, oh....
A DThey ran through the snow and they ran through the forest,
A DThey ran through the bushes where the beavers wouldn't go.
They ran so fast, they forgot to take their culture,
A DBack to America, and Gulf and Texaco...oh...oh...oh...
D A
So, if you go to Washington, its buildings clean and nice,
G D A DBring a pack of matches, and we'll burn the White House twice!
Repeat Chorus
