The Boston Tea Party 1936

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 26 Nov 2003

Here's the story of Boston's famous party;
You, have read it in history.
Now we're gonna give you
the latest lowdown
'bout a score of fellows
who went out on a spree.
There were twenty men,
hardy looking Yankees,
dress'd in feathers the Indian way.
They were out to show coming generations
how to 'throw a party' up in old Boston Bay:

Now on that boat there was a lot of tea;
and in spite of stories you've read about,
they also had ten little bottles,
and what they did with them
nothing's been said about!
Then they threw the stuff deep into the ocean,
and a lot of it sure was tea;
Those Colonials really had a notion
how to 'throw a party' that made history.

Now on that boat there was a lot of tea;
but that tea had oh! such a kick in it,
it made men strong - ready for battle.
They had no lemon there,
what did they stick in it?
That ingredient really made it potent;
made the Yankee lads 'Doodledoo'.
If they had such tea now upon the market,
it would make a bigger hit
than "Tea for Two!"
