“The Shot Heard 'Round the World” quotes from Schoolhouse Rock!

Now, the ride of Paul Revere

Set the nation on its ear,

And the shot at Lexington heard 'round the world,

When the British fired in the early dawn

The War of Independence had begun,

The die was cast, the rebel flag unfurled.

And on to Concord marched the foe

to seize the arsenal there you know

Waking folks and searching all around

'till our militia stopped them in their tracks

At the old North Bridge we turned them back

AND chased those Redcoats back to Boston town.

And the shot heard round the world

Was the start of the revolution

The minutemen were ready, on the move

Take your powder take your gun

Report to General Washington

Hurry, men, there's not an hour to lose.

From the shot heard 'round the world

To the end of the Revolution

The continental rabble took the day

And the father of our country

Beat the British there at Yorktown

And brought freedom to you and me and the U.S.A.!
