What's the cause of this commotion, motion, motion
Our country through?
It is the ball a-rolling on
For Tippecanoe and Tyler too.
And with them we'll beat little Van, Van, Van
Van is a used up man
And with them we'll beat little Van

Like the rushing of mighty waters, waters, waters
On it will go!
And in its course will clear the way
For Tippecanoe and Tyler too

See the Loco standard tottering, tottering, tottering
Down it must go!
And in its place we'll rear the flag
Of Tippecanoe, &c.

The Bay State boys turned out in thousands, thousands, thousands
Not long ago
And at Bunker Hill they set their seals
For Tippecanoe and Tyler too

Have you heard from old Vermount, mount, mount
All honest and true?
The Green Mountain Boys are rolling the ball
For Tippecanoe and Tyler too

Don't you hear from every quarter, quarter, quarter
Good news and true?
That swift the ball is rolling on
For Tippecanoe and Tyler too

Now you hear the Vanjacks talking, talking, talking
Things look quite blue
For all the world seems turning round
For Tippecanoe and Tyler too

Let them talk about hard cider, cider, cider
And Log Cabins too
It will only help to speed the ball
For Tippecanoe and Tyler too

His latchstring hangs outside the door, door, door
And is never pulled through
For it never was the custom of
Old Tippecanoe and Tyler too

He always had his tables set, set, set
For all honest and true
To ask you in to take a bite
With Tippecanoe and Tyler too

See the spoilsmen and leg-treasurers, treasurers, treasurers
All in a stew!
For all they know they stand no chance
With Tippecanoe and Tyler too

Little Matty's days are numbered, numbered, numbered
Out he must go!
And in his place we'll put the good
Old Tippecanoe and Tyler too Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
