"The Ride of Paul Revere"
Alan Sherman
from _My_Name_Is_Alan_
As
the clock struck twelve that fateful night
In the town of Boston, Mass,
Our
forefathers were sound asleep, of course.
From beneath their windows came a noise
That
almost broke the glass:
'Twas a wild-eyed horseman on a breathless horse.
So our
forefathers called out, "Who goes here?"
And the horseman answered, "Paul Revere."
So
our forefathers climbed out of bed,
And they went to the window and said,
"Go to
sleep, go to sleep, Paul Revere!
Please don't make all that noise around here.
How can
we rest when from down in the street
Comes the clomping and the stomping of your horse's big
feet.
"Go away or we'll call the police.
And report you're disturbing the
peace!
Stop horsing around in the dark of the night.
Tell those people at the Old North
church to turn out that light!
"Whatever you're trying to say, it'll keep;
Go to
sleep, Paul Revere, go to sleep.
"Are you planning to stay until dawn?
Won't you
please get that horse off my lawn?
You're drunk and disorderly, feeling your oats.
Tell
those strangers behind you to take off those silly red coats
"Why, you're carrying on
like the British are here!
Go to sleep, go to sleep, Paul Revere.
Go to sleep, go to
sleep, Paul Revere.
Go to sleep, go to sleep, Paul Revere."
(after music
stops)
"The king will hear of this!"
