lyrics

There is a tale centuries old
All Americans must be told
About a man and his quest
To retake the land that's blessed
Half his year's salaries
Were the tears of his enemies
And with those tears he paved a trail
Because he knew he would prevail
He's...
Andrew...
Jackson!
Andrew Jackson
King of the presidents!
Captured at thirteen by the British
Spit on their heels and ran away
Andrew Jackson!
Andrew Jackson!
Well old King Andrew, as he was known
Sat upon his bloody throne.
In New Orleans... He raised some hell.
Were the Spanish fighting? Ha! One couldn't tell! But..
Well Jackson was attacked in
A place called Misery
The crowd all cried out for his blood
But Jackson would be free
He reached into his pocket to make like
He had a gun!
He cried out to the men there
Oh come and get me son!
He's
Andrew
Jackson!
Andrew Jackson
King of the presidents!
Orphaned at fourteen, kinda like batman
Only he doesn't wear a cape
Andrew Jackson!
Andrew Jackson!
Slayed a hydra with a sword
Invented jazz with a single chord
Climbed a mountain with no hands
And three years later he was born
Invented math (meth?)
He felt no pain
Destroyed the whole country of Spain
Fought with Jesus and his dad
And flew a plane into the sun.
He's...
Andrew...
Jackson!
Andrew Jackson
King of the presidents!
Trail of tears.. Actually that was really bad.
I guess everyone makes mistakes!
Time traveling wizard
From the future
Came to murder Henry Clay
He's Andrew Jackson
