Story Song

I tell ya, no tale's quite so full of glory as the Americans' cracked up version of their revolution. Well, ah, who am I to know just how much they stretched the truth. Anywhat, it's a nice little story.

And what better to jazz up a story like that further than to turn it into a crazy children's song! Heck yeah, I'm talking about Schoolhouse Rock, fellas. Let's run with it!!
