histeria! (american animated series) - johnny shiloh lyrics

johnny shiloh lyrics
[intro: father time]
and now, histeria! presents the true story of a boy who wanted to fight for the north in 1861. and who marched to the beat of a different drummer…

[verse 1: kid chorus (toast as johnny clem)]
johnny clem tried to enlist when he was nine years old
“sorry, kid, but you’re way too young,” is just what he was told
(bogus, man!)
so johnny tagged along until the soldiers said okay
then they gave him thirteen dollars for his monthly pay
(woah, i’m rich!)

[verse 1: kid chorus, soldiers (toast as johnny clem)]
he received a battered drum, he pounded it with joy
the 22nd michigan regimen made him the drummer boy!
ow! stop playing! my еars!
after the battle of shiloh, hе got a cool nickname
they called him johnny shiloh, life would never be the same!
(rock on, dudes!)

{bridge: kid chorus, (soldier)]
loved by the north, hated by the south
johnny continued the fight!
he’d drum whenever the troops would march
all through the day and night!
(doesn’t this kid ever sleep?)
[verse 3: kid chorus (toast as johnny clem)]
after the war, he went to west point, wanted to serve his nation
was turned down because he had a third+grade education
(hey, i was busy!)
president grant stepped in for johnny, and the deed was done
our drummer boy made second lieutenant in 1871!
(so there!)

[outro: kid chorus (toast as johnny clem)]
after 55 years of army life, johnny took a rest
by then he was a major general, proving he’s the best!
(i’m the best!)
that’s the story of johnny shiloh, famous civil war kid
the world will never forget all the courageous things he did!
