| Are you ready to hear your lesson for the day? |
| -yes, teacher! |
| yes, teacher! |
| Are you ready to learn what history has to say? |
| -yes, teacher! |
| yes, teacher! |
| Then take your books and follow me to 1776 ad |
| And as the history page is turned we will see what we can learn |
| -yes, teacher! |
| yes, teacher! |
| yes, teacher! |
| In 1776 tom paine was writing books with a might and main |
| The tory said «now man alive» |
| Stop giving out with this here liberty jive |
| -stop giving out with this here liberty jive |
| Don’t sing of people’s rights that way |
| They might believe in what you say |
| So stop your song it’s not polite |
| Pipe down before you start a fight |
| -you don’t say, teacher, is that right? |
| Aha, but tom paine looked ahead |
| And to those tories thomas said no, no, no, no |
| When you got to go, you got to go |
| You can’t stand still on freedom’s track |
| If you don’t go forward, you go back |
| You can’t giddyup by saying whoa |
| And sitting on your status quo |
| -yes, teacher! |
| yes, teacher! |
| yes, teacher! |
| yes, teacher! |
| To washington at valley forge |
| A wise guy whispered slow down, george |
| Why start up trouble for the king |
| This freedom racket is a corny thing |
| -this freedom racket is a corny thing |
| Your troops are ickys they can’t move |
| You’ll never get them in the groove |
| So if you’re wise, you’ll just lay low |
| And play with the guys that have the dough |
| -you don’t say teacher, is that so? |
| Aha, but george just looked ahead |
| And to that tory georgie said… no… no, no, no |
| When you got to go, you got to go |
| You can’t stand still on freedom’s track |
| If you don’t go forward, you go back |
| You can’t giddyup by saying whoa |
| And sitting on your status quo |
| -yes, teacher! |
| yes, teacher! |
| Now paul revere saw a bellfry light |
| And that boy rode to town one night |
| Sang to the farmers near and far |
| Here come the british beating eight to the bar |
| One slippery tory said now paul |
| You’re manners aren’t nice at all |
| Turn back, don’t be an old hep cat |
| The right people don’t sing like that |
| -butpaul revere turn him down flat |
| Aha, that’s right, he rode ahead |
| And to that tory paul just said, no, no, no, no |
| When you got to go, you got to go |
| You can’t stand still on freedom’s track |
| If you don’t go forward, you go back |
| You can’t giddyup by saying whoa |
| And sitting on your status quo |
| Yes, teacher! |
| yes, teacher! |
| yes, teacher |
| So, students now you’re hep, don’t stop! |
| Keep stepping to that freedom hop |
| Although the tory’s beef and blow |
| To keep you sitting on your status quo |
| -to keep you sitting on your status quo |
| When they say let’s stand still a bit |
| Give up some rights, no harm in it |
| Remember those are just the tricks |
| That did not work in 76 |
| -now ain’t that right, the same old tricks? |
| Though torys talk: don’t be misled |
| And do what all those others said |
| No, no, no, no |
| When you got to go, you got to go |
| You can’t stand still on freedom’s track |
| If you don’t go forward, you go back |
| You can’t giddyup by saying whoa |
| And sitting on your status … |
| Sitting on, yes, sittin' on your, status… |
| Quo! |
| Oh! |
