Once upon a midnight dreary
Were the colonists weak and weary
As they had been for many years before

They paid more prices
And made sacrifices
To make up the cost of the war

So while the Brits were gently napping
The colonists came slowly tapping
Onto the boat’s wood floor

Sneaking down below the deck
They went to wreck
Anything else that was in store

Then in the boat, they overthrew
some of the cargo into the blue
And then they threw some more

Soon when the soldiers awoke
They saw that they were broke
They’d lost all of their tea packs

So the Parliament all agreed
To go ahead and make a decree
Which were called by colonists, the Intolerable Acts

These acts helped to empower the King
And soon he had outlawed town meetings
and they didn’t repeal the tax

So the colonists declared freedom
Because they didn’t need them
Their tolerance rose to the max

So started the Revolutionary war
With so much in store
And the rest, is well, just the facts
