Lyrics
I Think We’ve Got Another Washington and Wilson is His Name Verse: When Yankee Doodle came to town. He brought a man of great renown and called him Georgie Washington. In history I’m told. He proved a hero bold by winning victory’s untold Conditions are about the same today. And I’m mighty proud to say. Refrain: I think we’ve got another Washington, someone who’s just as good as he can be, He’s called the man of peace no matter where he goes he’s just the one for me It takes a little time for him to make up his mind, but he get’s there just the same, I think we’ve got another Washington, and Wilson is his name. Verse: I can’t forget George Washington The things that he has said and done have all gone down in history. And how they treated him with cheers they greeted him it must have been a sight to see I must admit that was some time ago. But I want you all to know. Refrain
