Charlemagne Lyrics - Singles - Burton Cummings

She got a red dress 

Kicking up pretty heels 

She's playing the money games 

Givin' us men a thrill 

Spending nights in Sin City 

Wearing all the upper class women down 

She did not and she could not 

Change her name to Jezebel 

Well, never once did she try 

No, no, no, she couldn't 

Change her name to Jezebel 

I got an army then I gave them spears 

But then I seize the power 

And I went around for a hundred years 

I was doin' alright 

Taking what I need and what I wanted to 

I did not and I could not 

Change my name to Charlemagne 

Well, never once did I try 

But no, no, no, I couldn't 

Change my name to Charlemagne 

Sailing up pass Jupiter 

Venus in my skies 

Well, then I'm heading back for the water 

It's coming as no surprise and am I doing alright 

They even gonna check my fingerprints 

But I was not and I never could be 

Never couldn't be no astronaut 

But never once did I try 

No, no, no, no 

I'll never be no astronaut 

And I did not or I could not 

Change my name to Charlemagne 

No, Charlemagne, yeah, yeah, yeah
