A-listen, my children, and you all shall hear
~#**************#~
The story of the midnight rider, Paul Revere
~#**************#~
Said to his buddy, “When they start to march”
~#**************#~
“Polish up a lantern in the belfry-arch”
~#**************#~
“Hang up one if by land”
~#**************#~
“Hang up two if by sea”
~#**************#~
Said Revere, “Over here on the opposite shore Ill be”
~#**************#~
A-ready to giddy-up, giddy-up, far and near
~#**************#~
Yankee doodle derby, winning, Mister Paul Revere
~#**************#~
After that lantern flashed, he hit the road
~#**************#~
Stoppin round at every minutemans abode
~#**************#~
Gallopin down each town by Heavens light
~#**************#~
Future of a nation ridin hard at night
~#**************#~
There was no radio flashing news far and wide
~#**************#~
Just a man on a horse on a cross country ride
~#**************#~
A-ready to giddy-up, giddy-up, far and near
~#**************#~
Yankee doodle derby, winning, Mister Paul Revere
~#**************#~
Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up
~#**************#~
Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up
~#**************#~
Thats the winner, Mister Paul Revere
