Today you’ll hear of a great man
Whose name gives Gabe great fear
That great man that I speak of now
His name is Paul Revere
He traveled on a midnight ride
To warn the vales and towns
“British are coming!” he cried aloud
While riding on the downs
Historians quibble on this point
And claim that he would say
That “redcoats” not “British” had come
But I say “what the hey”
