Ole Napoleon Bonaparte he was a mighty man

With his powerful army he conquered all the land he conquered all the land

Callin' all his Generals and he said it seems to me

All this mighty power's gonna be the death for me gonna be the death for me

You may have your Waterloo like ole Napoleon like ole Napoleon
