Verse 1
=====
She walks with confidence
Into the classroom
All the other kids stop and stare
Like she’s wearin’ a costume
She’s got no school supplies
Walkin’ like a panther
And somewhere right behind them hazel eyes
She’s got the answers, She’s…
CHORUS
======
Annabelle
Oh Annabelle
She’s Annabelle
My Annabelle
Verse 2
=====
She don’t need that Summer school
She’s good at math
She spends her time calculating Pi
When she’s taking a bath
I don’t wanna’ come off sounding mean
She’s kinda’ cocky...She’s all…
“Zero, one, one, two, three, five”
...Like Fibonacci
CHORUS
======
Annabelle
Oh Annabelle
She’s Annabelle
My Annabelle
BRIDGE
=====
When it comes to numbers
She just see ‘em
She wants a tattoo of the
Pythagorean Theorem
Go ahead and ask her bout the
Quadratic Equation
You will witness the Hypotenuse of
Her elation
(Oh woah...etc...)
Verse 3
=====
If you ever have to ask yourself
“When will I use this stuff?”
Have a gander at Annabelle
That’ll be enough
That Euclidean Geometry
Just makes her steamy
So listen up I’ll only say this once
Be proud of being geeky for…
CHORUS
======
Annabelle
Oh Annabelle
My Annabelle
Oh Annabelle
Annabelle.....

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
