| Lyrics：H.Rome Music：H.Rome | |
| Are you ready to hear your lesson for the day? | |
| Yes, Teacher! Yes, Teacher! | |
| Are you ready to learn what History has to say? | |
| Yes, Teacher! Yes, Teacher! | |
| Then take your books and follow me to 1776 AD | |
| And as the History page is turned we will see what we can learn | |
| Yes, Teacher! Yes, Teacher! Yes, Teacher! | |
| In 1776 Tom Paine was writing books with a might and main | |
| The Tory said 'now man alive' | |
| Stop giving out with this here liberty jive | |
| Stop giving out with this here liberty jive | |
| Don't sing of people's rights that way | |
| They might believe in what you say | |
| So stop your song it's not polite | |
| Pipe down before you start a fight | |
| You don't say, Teacher, is that right? | |
| Aha, but Tom Paine looked ahead | |
| And to those Tories Thomas said no, no, no, no | |
| When you got to go, you got to go | |
| You can't stand still on freedom's track | |
| If you don't go forward, you go back | |
| You can't giddyup by saying Whoa | |
| And sitting on your status quo | |
| Yes, Teacher! Yes, Teacher! Yes, Teacher! Yes, Teacher! | |
| To Washington at Valley Forge | |
| A wise guy whispered slow down, George | |
| Why start up trouble for the king | |
| This freedom racket is a corny thing | |
| This freedom racket is a corny thing | |
| Your troops are ickys they can't move | |
| You'll never get them in the groove | |
| So if you're wise, you'll just lay low | |
| and play with the guys that have the dough | |
| You don't say Teacher, is that so? | |
| Aha, but George just looked ahead | |
| And to that Tory Georgie said...No...no, no, no | |
| When you got to go, you got to go | |
| You can't stand still on freedom's track | |
| If you don't go forward, you go back | |
| You can't giddyup by saying whoa | |
| And sitting on your status quo | |
| Yes, Teacher! Yes, Teacher! | |
| Now Paul Revere saw a bellfry light | |
| and that boy rode to town one night | |
| Sang to the farmers near and far | |
| Here come the British beating eight to the bar | |
| One slippery tory said now Paul | |
| You're manners aren't nice at all | |
| Turn back, don't be an old hep cat | |
| The right people don't sing like that | |
| But Paul Revere turn him down flat | |
| Aha, that's right, he rode ahead | |
| and to that Tory Paul just said, no, no, no, no | |
| When you got to go, you got to go | |
| You can't stand still on freedom's track | |
| If you don't go forward, you go back | |
| You can't giddyup by saying whoa | |
| And sitting on your status quo | |
| Yes, Teacher! Yes, Teacher! Yes, Teacher | |
| So, students now you're hep, don't stop! | |
| Keep stepping to that freedom hop | |
| Although the tory's beef and blow | |
| To keep you sitting on your status quo | |
| To keep you sitting on your status quo | |
| When they say let's stand still a bit | |
| Give up some rights, no harm in it | |
| Remember those are just the tricks | |
| That did not work in 76 | |
| Now ain't that right, the same old tricks? | |
| Though Torys talk: don't be misled | |
| And do what all those others said | |
| No, no, no, no | |
| When you got to go, you got to go | |
| You can't stand still on freedom's track | |
| If you don't go forward, you go back | |
| You can't giddyup by saying whoa | |
| And sitting on your status ... | |
| Sitting on, yes, sittin' on your, status... | |
| quo! | |
| Oh! |
