The French Revolution
By Kelly Jean Chapman

France!
France!
The people began to dance! dance!
To dance and to sing
and make the streets ring,
and fight and revolt for France! France!

Bastille! Bastille!
The peasants danced to a reel! reel!
They reeled and rebelled!
They cried and they yelled!
They brought down the prison Bastille! Bastille!

Revolt! Revolt!
The Burgoynes began to jolt! jolt!
to jolt the great jail
and try to prevail
and cry to the jailer: Revolt! Revolt!

Powder! Powder!
They shouted yet louder! louder!
They took all they could
and made off with the goods
and started a war with some Powder! Powder!

Rebel! Rebel!
France began to tell! to tell!
of hunger and need
of a movement to lead
great France to begin to rebel! rebel!

Done!
Done!
The people had fought and had won! won!
They defeated the king
and beheaded the queen!
now the revolution is done! done!
