Waitin' waitin' for the redcoats to come
But all I hear in my frozen ears is ten thousand drums
Ten thousand drums

Johnny, Johnny, don't be afraid
We can whip those redcoats settin' in the shade
Settin' in the shade

We've got the best of all the rest of General Washington
And when we meet those redcoats watch them redcoats run
Goin' down their drum, goin' down their drum

Listen, listen, Johnny, better get your gun
Cause there ain't puttin' soldiers behind ten thousand drums
Behind ten thousand drums

Runnin', runnin', Johnny, watch them run
We finally whip those redcoats finally stop those drums
We stop ten thousand drums

We're the best of all the rest such Yankee son of a gun
We can tell our mommies how we made them run goin' down their drum
Goin' down their drum, goin' down their drum
Ten thousand drums, ten thousand drums...
