tippacanoe and tyler too - joe glazer lyrics

[intro]
“now, in the early days of the republic of george washington, he didn’t need any songs to brag about, y’know, he was pretty well*known. and in fact, the first time that songs were used to a large extent, strangely enough, was in 1840. the guy running on the whig ticket was william henry harrison. and he had a good gimmick—he had been a general and he fought a war against the indians some years ago in a place called tippacanoe. it wasn’t much of a war, but, uh, they made a big thing and they called him ‘tippacanoe,’ and his vice presidеnt was john tyler, so it was tippacanoe and tyler too! and this was thе song.”

[verse 1]
the whigs at the coming election
will carry our candidate through
they’ve made the judicious election
of tyler and tippacanoe

[verse 2]
they say that he lives in a cabin
and that he drinks hard cider too
well, what if he does? i am certain
he’s the hero of tippacanoe
[verse]
he’s the hero of tippacanoe
he’s the hero of tippacanoe
i’ll bet you a fortune, we’ll beat them
with the hero of tippacanoe
