00:48:54 Gregs Song Third on the Left
We all know the face
That won the Revolution;
Wood teeth and cherry trees
Signed the Constitution.
But who was that third
Soldier on the right
Both crossed the Delaware
Gave the redcoats a fight
We dont know their names
But they all can claim, some acclaim.

We all know the face
Great Emancipator
Tall hat and chin beard
Quotable orator.
But who was that third
Voter on the left
Both called for a change
To heal a nation cleft.
We dont know their names
But they all can claim, some acclaim.

We all know the face
The man who had a dream;
Sit ins and boycotts
Civil resistance theme.
But who was that third
Marcher behind him
All creeds and colors
Risking life and limb.
We dont know their names
But they all can claim, some acclaim.

SOLO

We all know the faces of
The Famous and the great;
All those who deserve
Days to celebrate.
You may be that third
No one on the side;
No pull and no press
To fight the backward tide.
No one may know your name,
Giving up would be lame,
Apathy leads to blame,
Theres no reason to abstain,
Nor for over-long refrains,
Cause we can aim...  For acclaim.

00:55:40 Garys Song I Feel Like George Washington


Sometimes I feel like George Washington Chopping down a cherry tree
But thats mythology
Sometimes I feel like George Washington gnashing with his teeth of wood
If he only could but he couldnt cause they were ivory and a cows tooth and metal and some springs
They still hurt, though

Ch
Who would lie to us about the man who couldnt tell a lie
Who who make up tales and call it history
Parson Mason Weems

I wonder if George Washington ever wore a wig
It seems he did not but he powdered his hair
I wonder if George Washington really freed his slaves
It seems thats true when he was dead
He was the only slave owning President who did

Solo

Sometimes I feel like George Washington kneeling and praying in the winter snow
He didnt though he didnt care for that
He sometimes went to church but he wouldnt kneel or take communion
Or mention Jesus on his death bed
I just thought you should know

Ch
David Barton I'm talking to you

And I think my elementary school teachers but they possibly didnt know
Not that it makes it better but at least it wasnt pure dishonesty
All you can do is learn and do some research and move on

Next week March 6, 2013 we will have a live 100th show at Big Bobs Burgers in San Antonio, and none of the dogs are pleased as they will not be able to be a part of it AND they definitely will not receive food from the restaurant.

And no picture at all, because the lyrics should be enough. I can't believe you read this far: good for you!
