President’s Day Songs
Original Author Unknown Sung to: “Yankee Doodle”
I Love the name of Abraham
We see him on our money
His picture’s on the $5.00 bill
And also on our penny.
Honest Abe is what he’s called
Honest, kind and true.
He was our 16th President
He loved both me and you, sir.
Sung to : “If you’re happy and you know it”
It’s a very special day today,
Yes sir! (Clap twice.)
It’s a very special day today,
Yes sir! (Clap twice.)
It’s President’s Day,
When we can shout and say,
“Have a happy, happy, happy, happy, day!” (Clap twice.)
Sung to: “Yankee Doodle”
One time there was a little boy
Who had a little hatchet
He looked and looked around to find
A little tree to catch it
At least he spied a cherry tree
His father’s pride and joy
He chopped it down, right to the ground
My! What a naughty boy!
And then he heard an angry voice
It sounded like a cymbal
George knew he was in trouble great
And he began to tremble
Who cut this tree, my son did you?
His father asked the question.
Yes, it was I. I cannot lie.
I cut it with my hatchet!
Chorus:
Georgie, Georgie, no, no, no.
Be careful what you do.
Hatchets can be dangerous
And you might get hurt too!

George Washington was the first
President of our country,
The people loved him, one and all,
He worked to make our land free.
He led the soldiers-that was hard,
For they were cold and hungry.
He said, “Be brave, now don’t give up.
We’ll build a brand new country.”
