The Monroe Doctrine Song

To the Raiders of the Lost Ark Theme (No, we do not own Indiana Jones)

LYRICS

Monroe Doctrine
based upon
John Quincy Adams'
foreign policy.

It divided
the world in two
For the Western
and Eastern
Americas
Great Britain

December 2nd,
James Monroe
gave this message
to all of Congress.

Don't consider
us anymore
for the future
colonization
of any
nation.

Now at first,
this did not impress.
And yet they still,
tried their very best,
not to interfere
with our hemisphere.

And instead,
kept to their own,
who to the throne?
Just stay alone...

And why,
you may ask of us,
did we want
them away from us?

We'll tell you why
it is just because:
When Spain came along,
things went all wrong,
Britain got strong.

And we were afraid
that there'd be
another war.

Then John Quincy
said that we should
just stay away,
just stay away,
just stay away,
just stay away.

Monroe Doctrine
based upon
John Quincy Adams'
foreign policy

It divided
the world in two
for the future
of freedom
of freedom
of freedom
of freedom for all

NOTE:
We apparently live in South Africa.

I am an out of work history teacher, I would so use this in class lol. Hell I have used animaniacs videos for history class-one of the reasons I lost my job to start with. The kids and parents love it when I did the crazy shit, but admin hated every second lol

[martelonkimmy]

@amethyst48 Aw, I'm sorry to hear that! But it's definitely believable to have lost your job and that be among the reasons to fire you, people are too strict when it comes to certain aspects of school, in my opinion. But I'm glad you enjoyed the video. We had a lot of fun making it. =]

our teacher was on youtube on the smartboard yesterday and search for doctrine song and made us watch this so funny and cute :)

[martelonkimmy]

Haha, really? Just out of curiousness, do you go to JTHS? I know that the video had been passed around my school a few times now, but I'm curious to know if it's being watched at others now. =]
