I’m Alexander
(Alexander the
Great)
Tune of “Eye of the
Tiger”
(Spoken)
(I’m Alexander and I’m gonna be great!)
Born as a prince, his father’s the king
Philip the second of Macedonia
Philip conquered Athens and took over Greece
His dream to be great was alive
When he was 20 years old, his father was killed
Alex now was king of Macedonia
Greece rebelled, but Alex stood firm
Alex proved strong and his kingdom survived
Oh, yes, I’m Alexander
And I’m gonna be great
I am the king of Macedonia
My army’s marching and my conquests can’t wait
One day I’ll be king of the world
I’m Alexander
The Persian Empire stood in his way
But Alex was a brilliant commander
He defeated Persia, he couldn’t’ be beat
Alex’s dram to be great was alive
Oh, yes, I’m Alexander
And I’m gonna be great
I am the king of Macedonia
My army’s marching and my conquests can’t wait
One day I’ll be king of the world
I’m Alexander
Greece to Egypt to India and more
Alexander was victorious
He spread Greek culture wherever he went
But at 33 Alex got sick and he died
Oh, yes, I’m Alexander
And I’m gonna be great
I am the king of Macedonia
My army’s marching and my conquests can’t wait
One day I’ll be king of the world
I’m Alexander
(Spoken)
(Yes, I am Alexander the Great
And one day everyone will know my name.
There will be books about me
There will be movies about me
And students everywhere
Will have to learn about me in their history classes
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha)
