Boston Tea Party Lyrics

CHORUS
Are you going to the party?
Going to the Boston Tea Party
Going to the party
Going to the Boston Tea Party
Going to the party
Going to the Boston Tea Party
Going to the party
Going to the Boston Tea Party

Redcoats in the village and there's fighting in the streets
Indians and the Mountain Men are talking when they meet
The king has said he's going to put a tax on tea
And that's the reason y'all Americans drink coffee

CHORUS

Fire in the mountains, flames upon the heath
As the President spits out the news, he's biting them wooden teeth
Them children of the Colonies got a different tale to tell
I'm going to the city, tell my folks I'm doing well

CHORUS

Bringing back the buffalo to the long prairie
Bringing back the fishes swimming in the sea
The children of them colonies got a different tale to tell
Going down to the city, tell my folks I'm doing well
CHORUS

Are you going?
Are you going to the Boston tea party?
Are you going?
Are you going to the Boston tea party?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
