Napoleon - Blossom Dearie[00:00:00]
Written by:Harold Arlen/Yip Harburg[00:00:00]
Napoleon's a pastry[00:00:10]
Bismarck is a herring[00:00:15]
Alexander's a crè me de cocoa mixed with rum[00:00:21]
And herbie hoover is a vacu um[00:00:30]
Columbus is a circle and a day off[00:00:41]
Pershing is a square what a payoff[00:00:46]
Julius caesar is just a salad on a shelf[00:00:52]
So little brother get wise to yourself[00:01:02]
Life's a bowl of cherry pits that's the way it is[00:01:12]
Play it big and it throws you for a loop[00:01:18]
That's way to fixture[00:01:23]
Comes today we're great[00:01:26]
Comes tomorrow we're tomato soup[00:01:28]
Napoleon's a pastry[00:01:33]
Get this under your brow[00:01:39]
What once used to be a rooster[00:01:43]
Is just a duster now[00:01:47]
Dubarry is a lipstick[00:02:02]
Pompadour's a hairdo[00:02:07]
Good queen mary just floats along from pier to pier[00:02:13]
Venus de milo's just a pink brassiere[00:02:23]
Sir gladstone is a bag ain't it shocking[00:02:34]
And the mighty kaiser's just a stocking[00:02:39]
Czar of russia is now caviar[00:02:45]
And cleopatra is a black cigar[00:02:49]
Yes my honey lamb swift is just a ham[00:02:58]
Lincoln's a tunnel coolidge is a dam[00:03:08]
Yes my noble lad comes today we're fads[00:03:16]
Comes tomorrow we're subway ads[00:03:21]
Homer is a swa at[00:03:26]
Get this under your brow[00:03:32]
All these big wheel controversials are just commercials now[00:03:36]
Better get your jug of wine and loaf of bread before that final bow[00:03:50]
