Napoleon's a pastry

Bismarck is a herring

Alexander's a crème de cacao mixed with rum

And Herbie Hoover is a vacuum

Columbus is a circle and a day off

Pershing is a square what a pay-off

Julius Caesar is just a salad on a shelf

So little brother get wise to yourself

Life's a bowl and it's full of cherry pits

Play it big and it throws you for a loop

That's the way with fate comes today we're great

Comes tomorrow we're tomato soup

Napoleon's a pastry

Get this under your brow

What once useta be a roosta'

Is just a dusta' now

Napoleon's a pastry

DuBarry is a lipstick

Pompadour's a hairdo

Good Queen Mary just floats along from pier to pier

Venus De Milo is a pink brassiere

Sir Gladstone is a bag ain't it shocking

And the mighty Kaiser just a stocking

The Czar of Russia is now a jar of 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 lads comes today we're fads

Comes tomorrow we are subway ads

Homer is just a swat

Get this under your brow

All these bigwig controversial

Are just commercials now

Better get your jug of wine

And loaf of love

Before that final vow

Napoleon's a pastry

Caesar is a salad

Get it while you're able
