LYRICS:

Whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa, F-f-f-founding Fathers.

​

My ancestors left England, life there they could not stand.

Our gramps and grans left too for a new life in a new land.

The Franklin clan held on 'till dad said, 'Franklin, time to go'.

At 17 I set sail to where revolution was starting to grow.

​

Us colonists were rising up; no longer Brits, we'd had enough;

No tax without representation; time to rise with our nation.

We led the revolution; dump Britain, the solution.

Older, wiser, stronger, smarter; each of us a Founding Father.

​

I wrote the bill of independence

I led troops to win through defence

I did news; army admin; together we founding dads went

Whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa, F-f-f-founding Fathers.

​

We each brought different talents to the running of the state

I wrote the law; I won the war; and I was simply great.

I came up with the swivel chair. Think you're a clever bot?

I built a stove, invented bifocals and the lightning rod.

​

Making stuff, a skill I lack

I guess I'll raise a load of tax

I'll win their trust; I'll write down facts;

Unite the Sates; I play my axe!

​

Start a revolution with a proper constitution

You try hard, we'll try harder

Each of us a Founding Father.

​

True we may be your ascendant; now that we are independent

Do more trade; we'll grow crops

Come on we're the founding pops.

Whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa, F-f-f-founding Fathers.

​

We disagreed on loads, but on one thing we all chime

We're gonna make America great for the first time.

​

Started with revolution, American evolution

Seeing off the English baddies, yes, we are the founding daddies.

Not bad for a group of lads; welcome to the founding dads

Got no time for father-haters; all praise to the founding paters.

Whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa, F-f-f-founding Fathers...

Whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa, F-f-f-founding Fathers.
