Lyrics The Divine Comedy

The Divine Comedy

Catherine the Great

Let's talk of Catherine the Great

Let's talk of love and the power of the state

She was a crazy, spontaneous girl

Everyone paid homage to her

Catherine the Great

There were few brainier

Just ask the king of Lithuania

She could dictate what went on anywhere

She had great hair

And a powerful gait

Catherine the Great

Catherine the Great

She could converse with the best

She knew Voltaire, Diderot, and the rest

She might have conquered a third of the world

But inside she was a sensitive girl

Catherine the Great

With her military might

She could defeat anyone that she liked

And she looked so bloody good on a horse

That they couldn't wait

For her to invade

Catherine the Great

(Yekaterina Alexeyevna

Yekaterina Alexeyevna

Yekaterina Alexeyevna)

Yekaterina Alexeyevna

Let's talk of Catherine the Great

Let's talk of love and the power of the state

If I could touch but the hem of her dress

Tell her a joke

Bake her a cake

Catherine the Great
