Napoleon

Napoleon - Blossom Dearie (布劳森·黛瑞)

Written by：Arlen Harburg

Napoleon's a pastry

Bismarck is a herring

Alexander's a crème de cocoa mixed with rum

And herbie hoover is a vacu um

Columbus is a circle and a day off

Pershing is a square what a payoff

Julius caesar is just a salad on a shelf

So little brother get wise to yourself

Life's a bowl and dips fowl of cherry pits

Play it big and it throws you for a loop

That's the way of fets

Comes today we're great

Comes tomorrow we're tomato soup

Napoleon's a pastry

Get this under your brow

What once used to be a rooster

Is just a duster now

Dubarry is a lipstick

Pompadour's a hairdo

Good queen Mary just floats along from pier to pier

Venus de milo's just a pink brassiere

Sir gladstone is a bag ain't it shocking

And the mighty kaiser's just a stocking

Czar of russia is now czar caviar

And cleopatra is a black cigar

Yes my honey lamb swift is just a ham

Lincoln's a tunnel coolidge is a dam

Yes my noble lad comes today we're fads

Comes tomorrow we're subway ads

Homer is a swa at

Get this under your brow

All these big wheel controversials are just commercials now

Better get your jug of wine and loaf of bread

Before that final bow
