Paul Revere's famous ride (sung to the tune of "You Better Watch Out")

Oh, you better watch out
Before it's too late,
You better beware
I'm tellin' you straight --
British troops are coming to town.

They're wearin' white wigs,
They're wearin' red coats,
You better lie low
And burn all your notes --
British troops are coming to town.

Just watch that old church steeple,
That's my advice to you.
If it's by land you'll see one light,
If by sea then you'll see two.

Oh, they've got a big list
Of folks to be shot,
Depending if they are
Loyal or not --
British troops are coming to town!
