[After most couplets: “Guess who! Guess who!”]
Well the world knows better that I know myself
The hundreds of places that I’ve been sleeping.
I dreamed about a place in the middle of nowhere
With a big white house and a cherry tree
I saw a little circle of 13 stars,
I said here we are, but what’s that weeping?
Then the big white house staff looked my way
And said "When you win this will we all be free?"
And I said "No, no; no, no no no.
I said no, no, won’t hear a lie from me."
(x2)
And the tree had some trouble in the early years,
But we let it grow as a compromise.
But I cut it down, and I shouldn’t have done that,
But I still kept the house for four more years.
So I settled in a place in the middle of nowhere
with a big white house and a cherry tree
Then I gave it up to another white guy,
But now they gotta name it after me.
And I said "No, no; no, no no no.
I said no, no, won’t hear a lie from me."
No, no, no, no.
No, no, no.
No, no.
Big white house and a cherry tree
I’m gonna make them name the district after me.
Big white house and a cherry tree
I’m gonna make them name it “Washington DC”
