LYRICS:
If they want to blow up the French, King of Italy, co-prince of Andorra
You guessed it, it’s me, Napoleon Bonaparte. Ugh!
​
Hello Paris, I burst through the door
Now everybody lift your jaws off the floor
You act like you’ve never seen your emperor before
It’s Napoleon and I’m back for more.
​
I’ve just escaped from exile on Elba
Where they call me the cage monster.
They say I’m short and I got little hands
But check out my massive… battle plans.
​
Yes we’ve got to go to war one more time
Against who? Everybody but don’t worry we’ll be fine.
Just fighting to get back what’s rightfully mine
Which is everything I conquered the first time.
​
King Louis whatever, he ain't got nothing on me
The greatest Frenchman ever come to war with me.
French people my subjects, I brought you success
Women used to make me nervous, but in battle I’m the best.
​
(Napoleon Bonaparte, Napoleon Bonaparte)
I didn’t come to party, I came to get nasty.
(Napoleon Bonaparte, Napoleon Bonaparte)
Just got to win at Waterloo then I’ll get back to ruling you.
​
You say I’m cocky, maybe I am
It’s not my fault it’s my pituitary gland
Or maybe my ego, but I’ll tell you what is true
I’m a military genius and my army love me too.
​
I can barely ride a horse nut not for want of trying
I’d say it’s not my sore bum but I would be lying.
It’s the British and the Dutch and the Prussian army
But that’s okay - the Prussian leader’s barmy.
​
(I’m pregnant with an elephant)
See what I mean? But I really need to win before they get on the scene
Can’t pray for rain to stop, don’t believe in God
If it carries on much longer we’ll be stuck in the mud
​
I got 100 days and I’m back up in this
We’re out numbered, yes, but we can win this.
Sure I’m a little fat and it hurts when I pee
But don’t worry about that, I’ll lead you to victory, baby.
​
(Napoleon Bonaparte, Napoleon Bonaparte)
Look out world, wait and see, you’re about to see the best of me.
(Napoleon Bonaparte, Napoleon Bonaparte)
Just got to beat Wellington, which almost nobody has done.
(Napoleon Bonaparte, Napoleon Bonaparte)
And I’ll go down in history 'cos Waterloo’s my destiny.
