The War Of 1812 Lyrics - Arrogant Worms

ooooh come back proud Canadians 

To before you had TV 

No hockey night in canada! 

There was no CBC (oh my god) 

In 1812 Maddison was mad 

He was the president you know 

well he thought he'd tell the British 

Where they aught to go 

He thought he'd invade canada 

He thought that he was tough 

Instead we went to washingon... 

[chorus] 

And burned down all his stuff! 

And the white house burned burned burned down 

And we're the ones that did it 

It burned burned burned 

while the president ran and cried 

It burned burned burned down 

And things were very historical 

and the americans ran and cried like a bunch of little babies yeah 

wah wah wah! 

In the war of 1812 

Us Hillbillies from Kentucky 

Dressed in green and red 

Left home to fight in Canada 

But the returned home dead 

Its the 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 

[chorus] 

In 1812 we were just sittin around 

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 

ooooh we fired our guns but the yankees kept-a-comin 

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-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo 

They ran through the snow and they ran through the forest 

They ran through the bushes where the beavers wouldnt go 

The ran so fast they forgot to take their culture 

Back to America and the gulf of mexico-oo-oo-ooo 

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 whitehouse burned burned burned 

but the americans wont admit it 

it burned burned burned 

it burned it burned it burned 

it burned burned burned 

how that made them mad 

and the americans ran and cried like a bunch of little babies 

wah wah wah 

in the war of 1812 (dragged out)
