I was born in the congo I walked to the fertile crescent and built The sphinx I designed a pyramid so tough that a star That only glows every one hundred years falls Into the center giving divine perfect light I am bad I sat on the throne Drinking nectar with allah I got hot and sent an ice age to europe To cool my thirst My oldest daughter is nefertiti The tears from my birth pains Created the nile I am a beautiful woman I gazed on the forest and burned Out the sahara desert With a packet of goat's meat And a change of clothes I crossed it in two hours I am a gazelle so swift So swift you can't catch me For a birthday present when he was three I gave my son hannibal an elephant He gave me rome for mother's day My strength flows ever on My son noah built new/ark and I stood proudly at the helm As we sailed on a soft summer day I turned myself into myself and was Jesus Men intone my loving name All praises All praises I am the one who would save I sowed diamonds in my back yard My bowels deliver uranium The filings from my fingernails are Semi-precious jewels On a trip north I caught a cold and blew My nose giving oil to the arab world I am so hip even my errors are correct I sailed west to reach east and had to round off The earth as I went The hair from my head thinned and gold was laid Across three continents I am so perfect so divine so ethereal so surreal I cannot be comprehended except by my permission I mean... I... can fly Like a bird in the sky...
