about

We only *suspect* he didn't like his first name...

lyrics

VERSE 1
=====
Bonaparte was feeling lonely
Day and night he wore a frown
Fighting battles in which he knew he’d
Be letting all his people down

CHORUS
=====
He can’t make everyone happy
It’s his lot in life to loose
He didn’t even like his first name
Napoleon has got the blues
Napoleon has got the blues

VERSE 2
=====
Missing the smells of his homeland
And the breeze upon his face
He didn’t want to be a soldier
Exiled from the human race

CHORUS
======
He can’t make everyone happy
It’s his lot in life to loose
He didn’t even like his first name
Napoleon has got the blues
Napoleon iS

BRIDGE
=====
Cursing life on Elba
With his useless golden hand
He’s got an unnamed complex
AAAHHHH!

CHORUS
======
He can’t make everyone happy
It’s his lot in life to loose
He didn’t even like his first name
Napoleon has got the blues
Napoleon has got the blues

OUTRO
=====
Napoleon, Napoleon, Napoleon, Napoleon
Napoleon, Napoleon, Napoleon, Napoleon

(La Marseillaise plays)

about

Junkyard Academy Vallejo, California

We sound like:
'Barenaked Ladies' meets 'Pink Floyd'
'Ben Folds dates Blink 182'
'Early Gin Blossoms' goes 'Bowling For Soup' with 'Green Day'
'Rob Thomas' slaps 'Tom Petty' while 'They Might Be Giants' stands by and sips a Slurpee and slow-claps in approval while nodding.

The faculty and staff of the Junkyard Academy welcomes you, now take a seat, cuz--

Class is in session!
