00:00:01.539 --> 00:00:05.189
(Flute playing)

00:00:05.189 --> 00:00:08.607
Rockin' and a-rollin', splishin' and a-
splashin', over the horizon.

00:00:08.607 --> 00:00:09.902
What can it be?

00:00:09.902 --> 00:00:14.547
The pilgrims sailed the sea to find
a place to call their own.

00:00:14.547 --> 00:00:18.846
In their ship, Mayflower,
they hoped to find a better home.

00:00:18.846 --> 00:00:23.640
They finally knocked on Plymouth Rock.
And someone said, "We're there."

00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:29.272
It may not look like home,
but at this point I don't care.

00:00:29.272 --> 00:00:34.414
Oh, they were missing Mother England.

00:00:34.414 --> 00:00:38.787
They swore their loyalty
until the very end.

00:00:38.787 --> 00:00:43.629
And anything you say King! It's okay King!
You know it's kind of scary on your own.

00:00:43.629 --> 00:00:49.020
Gonna build a new land the way we plan,
Could you help us run it 'til it's grown?

NOTE Paragraph

00:00:49.020 --> 00:00:53.335
(music continues)

00:00:53.335 --> 00:00:57.650
They planted corn, you know,
They built their houses one-by-one.

00:00:57.650 --> 00:01:02.694
And bit-by-bit, they worked,
until the colonies were done.

00:01:02.694 --> 00:01:05.215
They looked around, yeah
up and down,

00:01:05.215 --> 00:01:07.920
and someone said, "Hooray!"

00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:12.207
If the king could only see us now,
he would be proud of us today.

00:01:12.207 --> 00:01:13.232
(King chuckles)

00:01:13.232 --> 00:01:16.194
They knew that now,
they'd run their own land.

00:01:16.194 --> 00:01:17.953
(blows raspberry)

00:01:17.953 --> 00:01:22.150
But George the Third still vowed
he'd rule them to the end!

00:01:22.150 --> 00:01:26.598
Anything I say do it my way, now,
anything I say do it my way.

00:01:26.598 --> 00:01:32.057
Don't you get to feel independent,
'cause I'm gonna force you to obey!

00:01:32.057 --> 00:01:37.568
He taxed their property,
he didn't give them any choice.

00:01:37.568 --> 00:01:42.491
And back in England,
he didn't give him any voice.

00:01:42.491 --> 00:01:46.021
That's called taxation,
without representation,

00:01:46.021 --> 00:01:47.846
and it's not fair.

00:01:47.846 --> 00:01:52.898
But when the colonies complained,
our King said, "I don't care!"

00:01:56.066 --> 00:02:00.464
He even has the nerve to tax
our cup of tea.

00:02:00.464 --> 00:02:04.836
To put it kindly, King,
we really don't agree!

00:02:04.836 --> 00:02:10.127
Gonna show you how it feels,
we're gonna dump this tea,

00:02:10.127 --> 00:02:15.453
and turn this harbor into
the biggest cup of tea in history!

00:02:15.453 --> 00:02:20.543
They wanted no more Mother England.

00:02:20.543 --> 00:02:24.425
They knew the time had come
for them to take command.

00:02:24.425 --> 00:02:29.434
It's very clear you're being unfair, King,
no matter what you say, we won't obey.

00:02:29.434 --> 00:02:34.136
Gonna hold a revolution now, King,
and we're gonna run it all our way!

00:02:34.136 --> 00:02:35.800
With no more king!


00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:36.967
[talking] We're gonna elect a president!

00:02:36.967 --> 00:02:37.983
No more king!


00:02:37.983 --> 00:02:39.228
[talking] He's gonna do what
the people want.

00:02:39.228 --> 00:02:40.292
No more king!

00:02:40.292 --> 00:02:41.688
[talking] We're gonna run things our way.

00:02:41.688 --> 00:02:42.532
No more king!

00:02:42.532 --> 00:02:44.304
[talking] No one's gonna tell us
what to do!

00:02:44.304 --> 00:02:46.975
Rockin' and a-rollin',
Splishin' and a-splashin'

00:02:46.975 --> 00:02:49.434
Over the horizon, 
what can it be?

00:02:49.434 --> 00:02:54.780
Looks like it's going to be...
A free country!

00:02:54.780 --> 00:02:59.779
(cheering)
