Air: Tippecanoe and Tyler Too!

Oh, what has caused this great commotion,
Motion, motion, our country through?
It is the ball
A-rolling on
For Tippecanoe and Morton, too,
For Tippecanoe and Morton, too!
And with them we'll beat Stephen Grove,
Grove, Grove is a used-up "cove,"
And with them we'll beat Stephen Grove!

Just as they did in eighteen-forty,
Forty, forty, the country through,
We'll raise this year
A rousing cheer
For Tippecanoe and Morton, too,
For Tippecanoe and Morton, too!
And with them we'll beat Stephen Grove,
Grove, Grove is a used-up "cove,"
And with them we'll beat Stephen Grove!
Our fight is this year for protection,
Tection, tection the country through!
We'll fill, ourselves,
The merchants' shelves
With Tippecanoe and Morton, too,
With Tippecanoe and Morton, too!
And with them we'll beat Stephen Grove,

Grove, Grove is a used-up "cove,"
And with them we'll beat Stephen Grove!

The toilers in our mills and factories,
Factories, factories, the country through
Will have good pay
For every day,
With Tippecanoe and Morton, too,
With Tippecanoe and Morton, too!
And with them we'll beat Stephen Grove,
Grove, Grove is a used-up "cove,"
And with them we'll beat Stephen Grove!
The men who farm and shear the fleeces,
Fleeces, fleeces, the country through
Will leave their wool
To take a pull
For Tippecanoe and Morton, too,
For Tippecanoe and Morton, too!
And with them we'll beat Stephen Grove,
Grove, Grove is a used-up "cove,"
And with them we'll beat Stephen Grove!

The honest miners who are digging,
Digging, digging, the country through,
Need not compete
With slaves for meat,
With Tippecanoe and Morton, too,
With Tippecanoe and Morton, too!
And with them we'll beat Stephen Grove,
Grove, Grove is a used-up "cove,"
And with them we'll beat Stephen Grove!

The boys in blue who fought in sixty,
Sixty, sixty, the country through,
Will fight again
With gallant Ben,
Young Tippecanoe and Morton, too,
Young Tippecanoe and Morton, too!
And with them we'll beat Stephen Grove,
Grove, Grove, is a used-up "cove,"
And with them we'll beat Stephen Grove!

The Demmies, Englishmen and Mugwumps,
Mugwumps, Mugwumps, the country through,
May all unite,
And yet we'll fight
For Tippecanoe and Morton, too,
For Tippecanoe and Morton, too!
And with them we'll beat Stephen Grove,
Grove, Grove is a used-up "cove,"
And with them we'll beat Stephen Grove!
