1776: Sit Down, John

By God, I have had this Congress

For ten years, King George and his parliament

Have gulled, cullied, and diddled these colonies

And still, this Congress refuses to grant any of my proposals

On independence

Even so much as the courtesy of open debate

Good God, what in Hell are they waiting for?

Sit down, John!

Sit down, John!

For God sakes, John, sit down!

Sit down, John!

Sit down, John!

For God's sake, John, sit down!

Someone oughta open up a window

It's ninety degrees, have mercy, John, please

It's hot as hell in Philadelphia

Someone oughta open up a window

I say vote yes, vote yes, vote for independency

Someone oughta open up a window

I say vote yes

Sit down, John

Vote for independency

Someone oughta open up a window

No, no, no

Too many flies, too many flies

But it's hot as hell in Philadelphia

Someone oughta open up a window

Can we compromise here?

Vote yes

No, too many flies here

Vote yes

Oh, for God's sake, John, sit down

Good God! Consider yourselves fortunate

That you have John Adams to abuse

For no sane man would tolerate it

John, you're a bore, we've heard this before

Now for God's sake, John, sit down

I say vote yes

No

Vote yes

No

Vote for independency

Someone oughta open up a window

I say vote yes

Sit down, John

Vote for independency

Will someone shut that man up?

Never
