ORIGINAL: morvwilson They stepped so high and they made the bugles ring we stood beside our cotton bails and didn't say a thing we fired our guns and the british kepa commin there wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago we fired once more and they commenced to runnin on down the missisip to the gulf of mexico! oooh come back proud Canadians Before you had tv No hockey night in Canada There was no CBC In 1812 Madison was mad He was the President, you know But he thought he tell the British where they ought to go He thougth 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 and things were very historical and the Americans ran and cried like a bunch of little babies wa wa waaaa In the war of 1812! Now 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 join right in and gloat about The war of 1812! And the whitehouse 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 And things were very historical And the Americans ran and cried like a bunch of little babies wa wa waaaa In the war of 1812! In 1812 we were just sittin' around Mindin' our own business Puttin' crops into the ground We heard the soldiers coming And we didnt like that sound So we took a boat to Washington And burned it to the ground! Oh, oh... We fired our guns But the yankees kept on coming There wasn't quite as many As there was a while ago We fired once more And the yankees started runnin Down the mississippi to the gulf of mexico They ran through the snow And they ran through the forest They ran throught the bushes where the beavers wouldn't go They ran so fast that they forgot to take their culture Back to america, gulf, and texico So, if you go to Washington, its buildings clean and nice, Bring a pack of matches, and we’ll burn the White House twice! 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, Now, i bet that made them mad And the Americans ran and cried like a bunch of little babies waa waa waah! In the war of 1812! Nice adaptation ! You should record it to the old Jonny Horton tune! I notice, the way the words are written it fits nicely with "The British Grenadiers." Now, in defense of my American bretheren, I would like to point out that you Brits burned Washington.... after we burned York. So Canada got burned first, we win. Plus we stopped you guys cold at Baltimore, so it wasn't a COMPLETE loss.
