[Intro]

Rockin' and a-rollin', splishin' and a-splashin'

Over the horizon, what can it be?

[Verse 1: Lynn Ahrens]

The pilgrims sailed the sea

To find a place to call their own

In their ship, Mayflower, they hoped to find a better home

They finally knocked on Plymouth Rock

And someone said, "We're there"

It may not look like home

But at this point I don't care

[Verse 2: Lynn Ahrens]

Oh, they were missing mother England

They swore their loyalty until the very end

Anything you say, king, it's okay, king

You know it's kinda scary on your own

Gonna build a new land the way we planned

Could you help us run it 'til it's grown?

[Verse 3: Lynn Ahrens]

Thеy planted corn, you know

They built their housеs one by one

And bit by bit they worked

Until the colonies were done

They looked around, yeah, up and down

And someone said, "Hurray"

If the king could only see us now

He would be proud of us today

[Verse 4: Lynn Ahrens]

They knew that now they'd run their own land

But George III still vowed

He'd rule them 'til the end

Anything I say, do it my way now

Anything I say, do it my way

Don't you get to feeling independent

'Cause I'm gonna force you to obey

[Verse 5: Lynn Ahrens]

He taxed their property

He didn't give them any choice

And back in England, he didn't give them any voice

That's called taxation without representation and it's not fair

But when the colonies complained, the king said, "I don't care"

[Verse 6: Lynn Ahrens]

He even has the nerve to tax our cup of tea

To put it kindly, king, we really don't agree

Gonna show you how we feel

We're gonna dump this tea

And turn this harbor into the biggest cup of tea in history

[Verse 7: Lynn Ahrens, Bob Dorough]

They wanted no more mother England

They knew the time had come for them to take command

It's very clear, you're being unfair, king

No matter what you say, we won't obey

Gonna hold a revolution now, king

And we're gonna run it all our way with no more kings

We're gonna elect a president (No more kings)

He's gonna do what the people want (No more kings)

We're gonna run things our way (No more kings)

Nobody's gonna tell us what to do

[Bridge]

Rockin' and a-rollin', splishin' and a-splashin'

Over the horizon, what can it be?

Looks like it's going to be a free country

[Outro: Lynn Ahrens, Tinashe]

Home, home, home, home, home, home, home, home

Is somebody gonna match your freak tonight?

Probably not, we'll find out

Oh, cliffhanger
