[Verse 1] From Corsica, a general came, Across the Alps, through driving snow! Napoleon said Never interrupt your enemy when he's making a mistake! [Chorus] Heave ho, Napoleon, short and grand! With strategy and sword in hand! Heave ho, ambition's burning fire! To conquer all was his desire! [Verse 2] The battle rages, long and hard, Who wins the day, who takes the prize? Napoleon said Victory belongs to the most persevering! [Chorus] Heave ho, Napoleon, short and grand! With strategy and sword in hand! Heave ho, ambition's burning fire! To conquer all was his desire! [Verse 3] What force controls this earthly sphere? Not armies vast, nor cannons' roar! Napoleon said Imagination rules the world! [Chorus] Heave ho, Napoleon, short and grand! With strategy and sword in hand! Heave ho, ambition's burning fire! To conquer all was his desire! [Verse 4] To keep your promise, hold it fast, Napoleon said The best way to keep one's word is not to give it! A leader trades in hope for man! Napoleon said A leader is a dealer in hope! Potential sleeps till chance appears, Napoleon said Ability is nothing without opportunity! [Chorus] Heave ho, Napoleon, short and grand! With strategy and sword in hand! Heave ho, ambition's burning fire! To conquer all was his desire!
