President On The Dollar - Mitch Miller

A boy chopped down a cherry tree

Many years gone by

He bravely said, I did it sir,

I cannot tell a lie

His father knew right there and then

He’d be a man of fame

The president on the dollar

George Washington’s his name

The president on the dollar

The yankee doodle dollar

The president on the dollar

George Washington’s his name

The Revolutionary War

Was won by General George

And his starving band of ragged men

Who fought at Valley Forge

The father of the USA

Is what he soon became

The president on the dollar

George Washington’s his name

One day he said to Betsy Ross

A flag is what we need

A symbol of our freedom

For everyone to read

With stars and stripes and liberty

He set the world aflame

The president on the dollar

George Washington’s his name

The Continental Congress said

Now wouldn’t it be grand

To have him be the President

The first one in the land

The voting was unanimous

And that’s how he became

The president on the dollar

George Washington’s his name
