Lyrics
Europe in the 700s was a total mess But Charles Martel was a king Who could play more than chess He fought in battles and so won A kingdom for his own grandson Charlemagne! (Charlemagne) That's his name! First Carolus Magnus then became Charlemagne! (Charlemagne) That’s his name! Or Charles the Great, it's just the same Charlemagne Pepin the Short was Martel's son His stature was so slight But interestingly enough His own son had some height Charles stood tall at six foot four Order and faith he would restore Charlemagne! (Charlemagne) That’s his name! At age 26 he assumed reign Charlemagne! (Charlemagne) That's his name! Of Holy Roman Emperor fame Charlemagne Ooh-ooh-ooh The year 800, Christmas Day, In Rome Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Crowned by Leo, the Pope Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Sat on a marble throne From Aachen Palace, Germany Sent missi dominici Charlemagne! (Charlemagne) That's his name! 5,000 Saxons he had slain Charlemagne! (Charlemagne) That's his name! And he liked to dress so very plain Charlemagne! (Charlemagne) That's his name! Thought rich and poor should learn the same Charlemagne! (Charlemagne) Wed four dames! Had over 50 war campaigns! Charlemagne, Charlemagne Lost hero Count Roland in Spain Charlemagne! (Charlemagne) Ah-ah-ah Charlemagne Ah-ah-ah
