lyrics:
washington at valley forge
freezing cold but up spoke george
vo-doe-de-o, vo-doe-de-o, doe

crazy words, breezy tune
all that he could croon and spoon
was vo-doe-de-o, vo-doe-de-o, doe

on his ukulele, daily
he would strum
dancing and prancing
then he'd holler "red hot mama"

crazy words, breezy tune
all that george could croon and spoon
vo-doe-de-o, vo-doe-de-o, doe

lincoln was at gettysburg
these were his very words
said vo-doe-de-o, vo-doe-de-o, doe

remember patrick henry
when that speech, that famous speech
give me liberty or…red hot mama!

crazy words, breezy tune
all that george could croon and swoon
was vo-doe-de-o, vo-doe-de-o, doe

crazy words, breezy tune
all that he could croon and swoon
was vo-doe-de-o, vo-doe-de-o, doe

we all wondered yesterday
what did the president say
said vo-doe-de-o, vo-doe-de-o, doe

it's the rage, it's the craze
everybody sings now a days
said vo-doe-de-o, vo-doe-de-o, doe
vo-doe-de-o, doe
