[Verse 1] On the banks of the Potomac Wind cut sharp Old George rocked back on the courthouse porch Pinched his nose Eyes crossed Hat all askew Said "Somethin' in this cherry tree's ticklin' my snoot" [Chorus] He went "ahh-CHOO!" and his teeth took flight Spinnin' through the air like a barroom fight Wooden teeth flyin' like a flock of geese Bounced off the fiddle and the county priest "Ahh-CHOO!" shook the cider jug loose Banjo strings twanged Boots kicked the roof George Washington sneezed What a sight to see Blasted his chompers clean across the valley (hey!) [Verse 2] One tooth landed in the preacher man's hat One in the stew pot Splish-splash smack Martha yelled "George You lost your grin!" Jug band laughin' while they kicked right in [Chorus] He went "ahh-CHOO!" and his teeth took flight Spinnin' through the air like a barroom fight Wooden teeth flyin' like a flock of geese Bounced off the fiddle and the county priest "Ahh-CHOO!" shook the cider jug loose Banjo strings twanged Boots kicked the roof George Washington sneezed What a sight to see Blasted his chompers clean across the valley (whoo!) [Bridge] [Breakdown – fiddle and jug stomp Handclaps] Now if you feel a tickle in your noble nose Grip your gums tight ‘fore the windmill blows ‘Cause freedom rings and the flag still waves But a runaway smile is hard to save (ya hear?) [Chorus] He went "ahh-CHOO!" and his teeth took flight Spinnin' through the air like a barroom fight Wooden teeth flyin' like a flock of geese Bounced off the fiddle and the county priest "Ahh-CHOO!" shook the cider jug loose Banjo strings twanged Boots kicked the roof George Washington sneezed Set the people free From takin’ old legends too seriously (ahh-CHOO!)
