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


[chorus]
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


[repeat chorus]


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


[repeat chorus]


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


[repeat chorus]
