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.

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.)

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."
