Ancient Greece Lyrics by Mr. Nicky

0

[Chorus]
Because I taught Alexander the Great, I’m the great Aristotle
Alexander the Great, I’m the great Aristotle
Alexander the Great, I’m the great Aristotle
Alexander the Great, I’m so great, great, great, great, great
[Verse 1]
If you’re a polytheist, you should be thanking Zeus
For all the Greek achievements, that they’ve passеd down to you
Cause you got democracy from the folks on Athеns
And our alphabet is from the Phoenicians
Minoans and Mycenaeans, worked at their sailing trades
Around an acropolis, they’d build a city state
Wasn’t much farming soil, barely enough
On the peninsulas of Attica and Peloponnesus
So in Athens they gave their citizens voting rights (rule by the people!)
But in Sparta they were doing their duty and trained to fight (their duty, duty, for their oligarchy)
Though the Spartans had helots, they were jealous of Athens power (Athens jury, and assembly)
With their allies they all fought the Peloponnesian War
[Bridge]
It was a battle between city-states, city-states, a battle
Between two city-states, city-states, a battle
That ends the Golden Age a battle
Where Pericles was slain by a plague
Then Macedonians…
[Verse 2]
Invaded from the north in a phalanx
Philip II fought on horses back
The Greeks got warning from Demosthenes the Orator, but Philips’s
Cavalries won
His son Alexander spread Greek culture through his empire (mixing, the traditions)
With a library in Alexandria on the Nile (they built a Pharos, in a giant lighthouse)
Hellenism spread eastward till he died in Babylon (his generals split his empire)
He should have prayed to Athena inside the Parthenon
[Bridge]
It’s like a tragedy for Sophocles, Sophocles, Greek drama
Or by Euripides, Euripides, Greek drama
Or Aristophanes, Aristophanes Greek drama
It’s like a tragedy, tragedy
It’s like the Iliad of the Odyssey, Odyssey by Homer
It’s like the Iliad of the Odyssey, by Homer
It’s like the Iliad of the Odyssey, by Homer
It’s like the Iliad of the Odyssey
[Chorus]
That’s right I taught Alexander the Great, I’m the great Aristotle
Alexander the Great, I’m the great Aristotle
Alexander the Great, I’m the great Aristotle
Alexander the Great, I’m so great
[Outro]
I learned philosophy from Socrates, Socrates, I’m Plato
I learned philosophy from Socrates, I’m Play-doh
I learned philosophy Socrates I’m- hey!
Play-doh? Ha ha ha…
