  George Washington   Every time you get yourself a dollar bill George Washington's gonna smile at you, and I hope he always will. The Father of our Country was a Virginian and a gent. He was First in War  and First in Peace, and First for President.   George Washington, the Father of the U.S.A.   He settled in Mt. Vernon with his brand new bride, George and Martha Washington living side by side. Until the Continental Congress called for him to lead the men, and Washington the soldier donned his uniform again.   He stood with his militia, he surveyed and he saw. He chaired a great Convention, turned Revolution into Law. He served as Chief Executive past Seventeen Ninety-Six. Then he bid Farewell and warned us 'bout entanglements and tricks.   Each leap year is election year, and we all go out to vote. To do our part to help to keep the ship of state afloat. One crewman is the President, he serves a four year term. The leader of our Nation must be dignified and firm.   We didn't want a potentate. We didn't want a king. So we got ourselves a Father who could do most anything. We erected a marble monument in City that bears his name. But there'll never be another man to measure up the same.   The Father of our Country, you know they say he slept around. That the "Buck Slept Here" is on a sign that often can be found. We know he chopped a cherry tree and maybe more than one. The Father of our Country, our Great George Washington.   H u m a n u a l s
