The final battle had been won
English victory was now complete
Washington’s defeat left him deplete

The King could celebrate
the English victory of 1776

George Washington was feeling blue
on this day his hair went blue
The English had easily won

The boys in red would have to stay
to keep the savages at bay

This could not be done, it
was time to beat Napoleon

An English general had a cunning plan
never has this before been told
to Washington it was easily sold

Beneath a cherry tree big wig was found
splintered teeth a peculiar sound

“Bury the hatchet old boy
we have a devious plan
we’ll exchange your rags
for our camouflaged red
swapping our living for your dead

Then we can pretend that you have won
getting us out of this awful sun

Washington said
“Well chaps what’s in it for me?”

"Free tea, a State and white house,
annual fireworks from sea to sea in memory
of our secret agreement under the tree
completely Tax free”

With the hatchet buried
July forth is still famed for the
English freed from such misery
and the deal made beneath a cherry tree
