George Washington was quite a man. A patriot was he.

He fought for independence here to make our country free.

His strength and wisdom helped us all. His courage did not sway.

He always put his country first, And, bravely led the way!

But, did he chop down a cherry tree, chop down a cherry tree, chop down a cherry tree ?

Oh, did he chop down a cherry tree, Did he chop a cherry tree down?

George Washington was president, The first one that we knew.

He always did his very best For our red, white, and blue.

His leadership was strong and firm. His standards were quite high.

And legend has it he once said, “I cannot tell a lie!”

But, did he chop down a cherry tree, chop down a cherry tree, chop down a cherry tree ?

Oh, did he chop down a cherry tree, Did he chop a cherry tree down?

But, did he chop down a cherry tree, chop down a cherry tree, chop down a cherry tree ?

Oh, did he chop down a cherry tree, Did he chop a cherry tree down?
