Napoleon (Live At The Bon Soir, November 1962 Second Show) (Remastered) Songtext
von Barbra Streisand

Ok!
Life is just a bowl of cherry′s
I'm not gonna sing that so I hope you dont like it to much
Napoleon′s pastry
Bismarck, is a herring
Alexander's, a cream de cocoa mixed with rum
Herbert Hoover, is a vacuum
Columbus is a circle, and a day off
Pierce is a square, what a pay off
Julius Caesar is now 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 far a loop
Ah-that′s the way with fate, comes today we're great
Comes, tomorrow we′re tomato soup
Napoleon's pastry
Get this under your brow
What once use to be a rooster is, a, duster now
DuBarry is a lipstick
Pompadour′s a hairdo


A 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
Even Cleopatra is a black cigar
Oh 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 all subway ads
Homer is a swat
King Charlie you know what?
Get this under your brow
All these bigwig controversial's
Are just commercials now
Life is just a bowl of cherry′s
Better get your jug of wine
And loaf of love
Before that final vo-wow-wow-ow
Ah haha!
Whew!
