Mr Adams brewed all the tea
   Beneath the waves of Boston Bay.
   The boxes burst in disarray
Staining brown the turbulent sea.

Harbour now snarled with floating debris,
   And composed in his rebellious display
Mr Adams brewed all the tea
   Beneath the waves of Boston Bay.

This grasping English tax policy
   Triggered mad colonial melee
   Disrupting the tea-supping soiree
Such hubris he couldn't oversee
So, Mr Adams brewed all the tea
   Beneath the waves of Boston Bay.
