Lyrics:
The name is Charlemagne and I live in a castle,
All of the serfs desire my vassal,
They all wish to live in my manor,
One even asked to be my planner
I am a Christian but I wish I was a Jew,
I baptized our wizard, now he's one too,
Before I was a king all I had was a fief,
Now I'm older I have courted 12 wives
Out in battle I fight with my sword,
Over my rein I have appointed 12 lords,
Following the ancient period and between the new time,
For 1000 years the Middle Ages shined
My empire stretched from sea to sea
Since I was strong the Vikings traded with me
In the Middle ages we didn't use soap
I was knighted by Leo III our great pope
When I was young I didn't go to school
By my dad I was considered a fool
But now I am king and what I say is done
And I say school for everyone
As I expanded and the population grew
The feudal system came and passed through
I look back when I was young
My dad Pepin was an angry one
Although my rein lasted only 46 years
It came with blood and some tears
Through out my rein I learned to give
I'll go down in history as the best Frank to ever live
The Industrial revolution brought change and reform
It started in England where Capitalism was born
Some Entrepreneurs did become rich
The ones who didn't became their........friend
Urbanization moved people to the city
The bad sanitation made the roads not pretty
The city still, was not real hot
Factory workers wages still were not a lot
Children, women and even men
Worked in the factories over and over again
It was not fair, women were paid less
They had to work the new printing press
With new machines, the environment was in doom
One they called was the steam-powered loom
The spinning jenny and the spinning mule
Were examples of, clothing line tools
The coal powered the railroad
The railroad moved the people
This transported them to the new designed steeple
Industrial Revolution can't stop that
Adam Smith was the man who started it all
Without him Capitalism would have never called
In his book call The Wealth of Nations
He told how competition would be a motivation
His well known Rival Karl Marxs
Explained that communism would make you spark
He also had a book that rivaled Smiths
But people who like communism should be thrown in a ditch
Capitalist ideas soon came across the pacific
The Americans thought this idea was terrific
If you look at our government structure today
You'll see that communism was pushed away
Working conditions were not up to par
Reforms during this time were not too far
The Industrial Revolution made rapid social change
Without this period where would we be today?
Along the Tiber River Rome began to shine
The Romans were drunks since they drank wine
When you count the hills, there are seven
Some considered Mount Olympus to be Heaven
Julius Caesar was the dictator of Rome
The Plebeians didn't live in Villas, they lived in homes
When Caesar was killed in 44BC
A triumvirate took over (which is three)
There were twelve tables in Roman law
They were out in public so everyone saw
The Senate was part of Democracy
Most of the Senators were part of the Aristocracy
For 100 years the Civil War Raged
Instead of peace war was waged
The Pax Romana is about peace
Close to Rome was Sparta, in Greece
Virgil was a classic Roman writer
In the Coliseum there were animals and fighters
Rome is located in the Italian boot
Where grapes are grown, a valuable fruit
Only male citizens were given the right to vote
Caesar died from a knife to the throat
When Rome adopted Christianity
The Barbarians brought Rome to debris
When we took Liberty our nation rose, and grew
Unlike the Romans we didn't exile the Jews
American's must look back so far
To see how the Roman Empire left their scar
Was this for a school project?
