"Catherine The Great" lyrics

"Catherine The Great"

Let's talk of Catherine the Great
Let's talk of love and the power of the state
She was a crazy, spontaneous girl
Everyone paid homage to her
Catherine the Great

There were few brainier
Just ask the king of Lithuania
She could dictate what went on anywhere
She had great hair
And a powerful gait
Catherine the Great

Catherine the Great

She could converse with the best
She knew Voltaire, Diderot, and the rest
She might have conquered a third of the world
But inside she was a sensitive girl
Catherine the Great

With her military might
She could defeat anyone that she liked
And she looked so bloody good on a horse
That they couldn't wait
For her to invade
Catherine the Great

(Yekaterina Alexeyevna
Yekaterina Alexeyevna
Yekaterina Alexeyevna)
Yekaterina Alexeyevna

Let's talk of Catherine the Great
Let's talk of love and the power of the state
If I could touch but the hem of her dress
Tell her a joke
Bake her a cake
Catherine the Great
