ooooh come back proud Canadians   To before you had TV   No hockey night in canada   There was no CBC (oh my god)      In 1812 Maddison was mad   He was the president you know   well he thought he'd tell the British   Where they aught to go   He thought he'd invade canada   He thought that he was tough   Instead we went to washingon...      [chorus]   And burned down all his stuff   And the white house burned burned burned   And we're the ones that did it   It burned burned burned    while the president ran and cried   It burned burned burned    And things were very historical   and the americans ran and cried like a bunch of little babies    wah wah wah   In the war of 1812      Us Hillbillies from Kentucky   Dressed in green and red   Left home to fight in Canada   But the returned home dead      Its the only war the Yankees lost   Except for Vietnam   And also the alamo   and the bay of... Ham      The loser was america    the winner was ourselves   so join right in and gloat about   the war of 1812      [chorus]      In 1812 we were just sittin around   Puttin crops into the ground   we heard the soldiers coming and we didnt like that sound   so we took a boat to washington   and burned it to the ground      ooooh we fired our guns but the yankees kept-a-comin   There wasn't quite as many as there was a while ago   we fired once more and the yankees started runnin   Down the mississippi to the gulf of mexico-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo      They ran through the snow and they ran through the forest   They ran through the bushes where the beavers wouldnt go   The ran so fast they forgot to take their culture   Back to America and the gulf of mexico-oo-oo-ooo      so if you go to washington   its buildings clean and nice   bring a pack of matches   and we'll burn the white house twice      and the whitehouse burned burned burned   but the americans wont admit it   it burned burned burned   it burned it burned it burned   it burned burned burned   how that made them mad   and the americans ran and cried like a bunch of little babies    wah wah wah   in the war of 1812 (dragged out)
