Burton Cummings Charlemagne Lyrics

Charlemagne Lyrics

She got a red dress

Kicking up pretty heels

She's playing the money games

Givin' us men a thrill



Spending nights in Sin City

Wearing all the upper class women down

She cannot or she could not

Change her name to Jezebel

Well, never once did she try

No, no, no, she couldn't

Change her name to Jezebel



I got an army then I gave them spears

But then I seize the power

And I went around for a hundred years

I was doin' alright



Taking what I need and what I wanted to

I did not and I could not

Change my name to Charlemagne

Well, never once did I try

But no, no, no, I couldn't

Change my name to Charlemagne



Sailing up pass stupid Earth

Venus in my skies

Well, then I'm heading back for the water

It's coming as no surprise and am I doing alright



They even won't check my fingerprints

But I was not and I never could be

Never couldn't be no astronaut

But never once did I try

No, no, no, no

I'll never be no astronaut



And I did not or I could not

Change my name to Charlemagne

No, Charlemagne, yeah, yeah, yeah
