Napoléon became a soldier He rose to the commander He fought the Italian champagne And the Egypt expedition He became the ruler of France They chose him for the first consul Then he crowned himself to the emperor And in Milan he became the Italian king [Chorus] His name was Napoléon, the master of war He built an empire, so great and so tall He occupied countries and conquered the earth That was a new revolution's birth He had the success of taking Vienna And had a victory in Austerlitz He lost the battle of Trafalgar's But this had just no sense He made war with the Prussians and Russians But later he made peace again In the time of peace he had to reign But he had to fight defensively [Chorus] [Solo: Chris] To reign he had Elba A little island which was too small for him He returned to France Where he had an army which fought for him He fought against the alliance And won the battle of Quatre-Bras But he had a loosing in Waterloo And was damned to an island where he died [Chorus]
